To calculate the mean age, you need to sum all the ages and then divide by the number of employees.
The ages given are: 34, 41, 28, 35, 27, 44, 48, 29, 33, and 39.
First, let's sum these ages:
34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 384.
Now, divide by the number of employees (which is 10):
Mean age = Total sum of ages / Number of employees = 384 / 10 = 38.4.
Given that this result does not match any of the provided options, there seems to be an inconsistency. However, let's reevaluate the mean calculation to ensure accuracy.
Upon reviewing the summation:
- 34 + 41 = 75
- 75 + 28 = 103
- 103 + 35 = 138
- 138 + 27 = 165
- 165 + 44 = 209
- 209 + 48 = 257
- 257 + 29 = 286
- 286 + 33 = 319
- 319 + 39 = 358.
It appears that I initially made an error in repeating values.
Indeed, the correct sum is 358.
Now divide this sum by the number of ages (10):
New Mean = 358 / 10 = 35.8.
Therefore, the mean age is 35.8.
So the correct answer is: 35.8.
