The ages, in years, of randomly selected employees are 34, 41, 28, 35, 27, 44, 48, 29, 33, and
39. Determine the mean age. (1 point)
• 37.8
• 35.8
• 36.8
39.8
To determine the mean age, you need to add up all the ages and then divide by the total number of ages.
34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 348
Now, divide the sum by the total number of ages (10 in this case):
348 / 10 = 34.8
Therefore, the mean age is 34.8. So, the closest option is 35.8, since the rounded mean age is 35.
