To calculate the mean of the dataset (5, 5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 100, 120):

  1. Add all the numbers together: \( 5 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 100 + 120 = 5 + 5 = 10, + 5 = 15, + 10 = 25, + 15 = 40, + 20 = 60, + 30 = 90, + 40 = 130, + 100 = 230, + 120 = 350. \)

    Total sum = 350.

  2. Count the number of values: There are 10 values in the dataset.

  3. Calculate the mean: Mean = Total Sum / Number of Values = \( 350 / 10 = 35 \).

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the mean is 35.

Therefore, the correct response is 35.
