Question

Becky weeded the neighbors' gardens all summer. The 8 neighbors paid: $15.00 $26.00 $12.00 $12.00 $12.00 $11.00 $10.00 $30.00 What was the mean amount paid? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean amount paid = $16

Explanations:

The amount paid by the eight neighbours are $15.00, $26.00, $12.00, $12.00, $12.00, $11.00, $10.00, $30.00

The mean of a set of data is given by the formula:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Mean = }\frac{\sum x}{N} \\ \sum x\text{ is the sum of all the data given} \\ N\text{ is the number of data given} \\ \text{Mean = }\frac{15+26+12+12+12+11+10+30}{8} \\ \text{Mean = }\frac{128}{8} \\ \text{Mean = 16} \end{gathered}$

The mean amount paid = $16
