To find the mean number of new disease cases over these days, we need to add up the total number of cases recorded each day and then divide by the number of days.
Given:
- The number of new cases each day is 358.
Since the number of cases is the same for each of the six days, we can find the total number of cases by multiplying the number of cases each day by the number of days:
\[ \text{Total cases} = 358 \times 6 \]
\[ \text{Total cases} = 2148 \]
To find the mean, we divide the total number of cases by the number of days:
\[ \text{Mean cases per day} = \frac{\text{Total cases}}{\text{Number of days}} \]
\[ \text{Mean cases per day} = \frac{2148}{6} \]
\[ \text{Mean cases per day} = 358 \]
Therefore, the mean number of new disease cases for these six days is 358.
