Solution

To compare the mean of data set X and Y, we first need to calculate the mean of each data set.

The mean is calculated by adding all the numbers in the data set and then dividing by the count of numbers in the data set.

For data set X: Mean = (55 + 99 + 99 + 1313) / 4 = 391.5

For data set Y: Mean = (55 + 99 + 99 + 1313 + 2727) / 5 = 658.6

Comparing these two means, we can see that the mean of data set Y is greater than the mean of data set X.

So, the correct statement is: The mean of data set X is less than the mean of data set Y. The given statement in the question is incorrect.
