To find the mean number of lawn mowers sold, you need to sum the total number of lawn mowers sold over the 6 days and then divide that total by the number of days.
Here are the lawn mowers sold each day:
- Thursday: 4
- Friday: 1
- Saturday: 8
- Sunday: 1
- Monday: 1
- Tuesday: 3
Now, let's sum these numbers:
\[
4 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 18
\]
Next, since there are 6 days, we divide the total by 6:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{18}{6} = 3
\]
So, the mean number of lawn mowers sold is **3**.
