Jacob’s daily tips this work week were $99, $78, $58, $91, $90, and $68. Is Jacob correct in thinking that the mean best represents how much money he makes in daily tips?

The mean means that its the average of the numbers. So Jacob is wrong if he adds up all the tips. Because for the mean you add all the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are
