The ages, in years, of randomly selected employees are 34, 41, 28, 35, 27, 44, 48, 29, 33, and 39. Determine the mean age.

36.8
35.8
37.8
39.8
The mean age can be calculated by adding up all the ages and then dividing by the total number of employees.
34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 348
Now, divide by 10 (since there are 10 employees):
348 / 10 = 34.8
So, the mean age of the employees is 34.8 years.
Therefore, the closest option is 35.8.
