RE: Unit VIII Discussion Board Question

Well, finding the mean (average) is something that I do use often. One way that I used it recently was calculating my wife's average paycheck. She has a work at home job and work is hit and miss, so we wanted to estimate,based on the previous 5 checks,how much her average check was.

$244.12 + $160.15 + $400.25 + $317.33 + $205.55 = $1327.40

Now that I have the total $1327.40 I will divide it by the number of paychecks which was 5.

1327.40 / 5 = $265.48

Therefore her average check is $265.48.

Therefore
