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.

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.
