Answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

$10,724.29

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is basically the average of the 7 numbers shown. To get the average, we need to add all the numbers & divide by the number of numbers (which in our case is 7 numbers). Thus, we have:

Mean =  $\frac{10,150+10,211+10,424+10,769+10,884+11,155+11,477}{7}=10,724.29$

Hence, the mean is 10,724 dollars and 29 cents.
