To calculate the mean age, you 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.

  1. Add the ages: \( 34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 384 \)

  2. Count the number of employees: There are 10 employees.

  3. Calculate the mean: \( \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum of Ages}}{\text{Number of Employees}} = \frac{384}{10} = 38.4 \)

None of the options provided (35.8, 36.8, 37.8, 39.8) match the calculated mean age. Please double-check the ages for correctness.
