Question

A car dealer recently sold five cars for the following profits: $10,126, $9,999, $12,398, $12,007, and $4,567. What was the mean for the profits of the sales?

Answer 1

Mean or Average is all of the sums divided by how many of the choices are there, so all of 10,126+9,99+12,398+12,007+4567=49097 and divided by all the choices you have which is 5 is 9819.4

Answer 2

$9819.4

Explanation:

We have been given that a car dealer recently sold five cars for the following profits: $10,126, $9,999, $12,398, $12,007, and $4,567. We are asked to find the mean for the profits of the sales.

Since mean is the average of numbers. So let us add all the profits and divide the sum of profits by number of cars.

`\text{Mean for the profits of the sales}=(10126+9999+12398+12007+4567)/(5)`

`\text{Mean for the profits of the sales}=(49097)/(5)`

`\text{Mean for the profits of the sales}=9819.4`

Therefore, the mean for the profits of sales is $9819.4.
