The ages, in years, of randomly selected employees are 34, 41, 28, 35, 27, 44, 48, 29, 33, and 39. Determine the mean age.
To find the mean (average) age, we need to add up all the ages and divide by the number of employees.
34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 348
There are 10 employees, so we divide the total age by 10:
348 รท 10 = 34.8
Therefore, the mean age of the employees is 34.8 years.
