To find the mean price of the items Stevie bought, you need to sum the prices of all the items and then divide by the total number of items.

Here are the prices of the items Stevie bought:

  • VHS tape: 3
  • Salad bowl: 5
  • Salt box: 2
  • Hammock: 15
  • Concert poster: 5
  • Hoodie: 5
  • Raccoon statue: 7

Now, let's calculate the sum of the prices:

\[ 3 + 5 + 2 + 15 + 5 + 5 + 7 = 42 \]

Next, count the number of items:

There are 7 items.

Now, calculate the mean:

\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum of Prices}}{\text{Number of Items}} = \frac{42}{7} = 6 \]

So, the mean price of the items Stevie bought is 6.

The correct answer is D. 6.

are you sure

Yes, I am sure. Let's go through the calculation again step by step to confirm the mean price of the items Stevie bought.

Here are the individual prices again:

  • VHS tape: 3
  • Salad bowl: 5
  • Salt box: 2
  • Hammock: 15
  • Concert poster: 5
  • Hoodie: 5
  • Raccoon statue: 7

Step 1: Calculate the total sum of the prices.

\[ 3 + 5 + 2 + 15 + 5 + 5 + 7 = 42 \]

Step 2: Count the number of items.

There are 7 items total.

Step 3: Calculate the mean price.

\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum of Prices}}{\text{Number of Items}} = \frac{42}{7} = 6 \]

Thus, the mean price of the items Stevie bought is indeed 6.

So, the answer is D. 6. If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, feel free to ask!
