Calculation:
The sum of all the entries divided by the total number of entries is known mean.
The formula for mean is,
$$\overline{x}=\frac{\sum x}{n}$$
Substitute the values and nas 9 in the formula,
$$\overline{x}=\frac{150+150+160+180+150+140+120+130+120}{9}$$
$$=\frac{1300}{9} = 144.444$$
Thus, the mean cost of compact refrigerators is $$\144.44$$,

### Relevant Questions

The accompanying two-way table was constructed using data in the article “Television Viewing and Physical Fitness in Adults” (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1990: 315–320). The author hoped to determine whether time spent watching television is associated with cardiovascular fitness. Subjects were asked about their television-viewing habits and were classified as physically fit if they scored in the excellent or very good category on a step test. We include MINITAB output from a chi-squared analysis. The four TV groups corresponded to different amounts of time per day spent watching TV (0, 1–2, 3–4, or 5 or more hours). The 168 individuals represented in the first column were those judged physically fit. Expected counts appear below observed counts, and MINITAB displays the contribution to $$\displaystyle{x}^{{{2}}}$$ from each cell.
