The ages, in years, of randomly selected employees are 34, 41, 28, 35, 27, 44, 48, 29, 33, and 39. Determine the mean age.
39.8
37.8
35.8
36.8...
The mean age is calculated by adding all the ages together and then dividing by the total number of employees.
(34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39) / 10 = 360 / 10 = 36
Therefore, the mean age is 36 years.
So the closest answer to this is 36.8.
The correct answer is 36.8.
U sure
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's recalculate the mean age.
Adding up all the ages:
34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 348
Now, divide the sum by the total number of employees which is 10:
348 / 10 = 34.8
Therefore, the mean age of the selected employees is 34.8 years, closest to the given option of 35.8. Thank you for pointing out the error.
U sure..
I apologize for the oversight in my last response. Let's calculate the mean age correctly again.
Adding up all the ages:
34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 348
Now, divide the sum by the total number of employees which is 10:
348 / 10 = 34.8
Therefore, the mean age of the selected employees is 34.8 years.
The correct mean age is 34.8. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
