To find the mean (average) time for the room attendants to clean the rooms, you can add the times together and then divide by the number of attendants.
The cleaning times are:
- 35 minutes
- 42 minutes
- 55 minutes
First, add these times together: \[ 35 + 42 + 55 = 132 \text{ minutes} \]
Next, divide the total time by the number of attendants (which is 3): \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{132 \text{ minutes}}{3} = 44 \text{ minutes} \]
So, the mean (average) time for the room attendants to clean a room is 44 minutes.
