Question

A director's sales for the week are:

$600
$1,500
$800
$1300
$800
What is the "mean"?

Answer 1

To find the mean, also known as the average, we need to add up all the sales and divide by the total number of sales:

Mean = (Total sales) / (Number of sales)

Total sales = $600 + $1,500 + $800 + $1,300 + $800 = $5,000

Number of sales = 5

Mean = $5,000 / 5 = $1,000

Therefore, the mean of the director's sales for the week is $1,000.
