1 answer

To calculate the mean of the data set, you need to add all the numbers together and then divide by the total number of values.

5 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 100 + 120 = 350

Dividing by the total number of values (10), the mean is 350 / 10 = 35

Therefore, the correct answer is 35.
