What is the mean of the numbers?

Answer 1

To find the mean number of pies baked over the past 7 days, we first need to add up the total number of pies baked and then divide by the number of days.

The number of pies baked each day is:

• Tuesday: 0
• Wednesday: 10
• Thursday: 20
• Friday: 30
• Saturday: 40
• Sunday: 50
• Monday: 0

Now, let's add these numbers together:

$0+10+20+30+40+50+0=150$

Next, we divide the total by the number of days (7):

$\text{Mean}=\frac{150}{7}\approx 21.43$

Thus, the mean number of pies baked over the 7 days is approximately 21.43.
