Answer 1

The average number of team members who reached their goal per day for the past week is found by totaling the daily numbers (21) and dividing by the number of days (5), yielding an average of 4.2 team members.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average number of team members who reached their production goal per day, we need to calculate the mean of the data given for the week. This involves adding up the number of team members who reached their goal each day and then dividing by the total number of days. Here is the step-by-step calculation:

• Monday: 5 team members reached their goal
• Tuesday: 4 team members reached their goal
• Wednesday: 2 team members reached their goal
• Thursday: 7 team members reached their goal
• Friday: 3 team members reached their goal

We add these numbers together: 5 + 4 + 2 + 7 + 3 = 21. Then we divide by the number of days in the workweek, which is 5.

So the calculation is:

21 team members ÷ 5 days = 4.2 team members

Therefore, the average number of team members who reached their goal per day for the past week is 4.2.

We calculated the sum of team members who reached their goal for each day of the week and then divided by the number of days (5) to get the average. The average is 4.2 team members per day (Option A).
