What is the mean of the numbers?

1 answer

To find the mean number of pies baked over the past 7 days, we first need to add up the total number of pies baked and then divide by the number of days.

The number of pies baked each day is:

  • Tuesday: 0
  • Wednesday: 10
  • Thursday: 20
  • Friday: 30
  • Saturday: 40
  • Sunday: 50
  • Monday: 0

Now, let's add these numbers together:

\(0 + 10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 0 = 150\)

Next, we divide the total by the number of days (7):

\(\text{Mean} = \frac{150}{7} \approx 21.43\)

Thus, the mean number of pies baked over the 7 days is approximately 21.43.
