To find the mean age of the randomly selected employees, we need to add all the ages together and then divide by the number of employees.

The ages are: 34, 41, 28, 35, 27, 44, 48, 29, 33, and 39.

First, we sum the ages: \(34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 384\)

Next, we count the number of employees, which is 10.

Now, we calculate the mean: \(\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of ages}}{\text{Number of employees}} = \frac{384}{10} = 38.4\)
