  • A14 mm
  • B20 mm
  • C16 mm
  • D96 mm

Step-by-Step Solution

Read the bars: mm. Mean mm. (14 mm is the median and 20 mm the range.)
Answer: C) 16 mm

Key idea: Mean — the 'fair share'

The **mean** is what each person would get if you redistributed everything evenly. Sum the values, divide by the count.

Example: marks 8, 6, 7, 9, 10. Sum = 40. Count = 5. Mean = 40 ÷ 5 = 8.

Mean is the most common 'average' but it can be pulled up or down by extreme values (one very high or very low number).
