Question

the prices of 10 computers at a local electronic store are listed. find the mean, median, and mode (if one exists). round to the nearest dollar. $731, $843, $992, $905, $628, $708, $553, $576, $949, $968 part: 0 / 3 part 1 of 3 mean: $□

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the prices

We add up all the given prices: \(731 + 843 + 992 + 905 + 628 + 708 + 553 + 576 + 949 + 968\)
First, calculate step by step:
\(731+843 = 1574\)
\(1574+992 = 2566\)
\(2566+905 = 3471\)
\(3471+628 = 4099\)
\(4099+708 = 4807\)
\(4807+553 = 5360\)
\(5360+576 = 5936\)
\(5936+949 = 6885\)
\(6885+968 = 7853\)

Step2: Calculate the mean

The mean is the sum divided by the number of data points (10 here). So, \(\text{Mean}=\frac{7853}{10}=785.3\), and rounding to the nearest dollar gives \(785\).

Answer:

\(785\)
