The table shows the number of visitors to a museum on five days.Day Visitors Mon 34 Tue 21 Wed 55 Thu 51 Fri 24
What was the mean number of visitors per day?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 37
- Step 1: Total = 34 + 21 + 55 + 51 + 24 = 185. Step 2. Mean = 185 / 5 = 37. Answer: 37. Why not the others: 34 is the median, the middle value; 38 is the midpoint of the highest and lowest days; 46.25 divides the total by 4 although there are five days.
