C. 61

D. 62

Answer 1

To calculate the mean number of customers per day at the Brown Bag Deli, you add up the total number of customers over the nine days and divide by nine. The sum is 540 customers, and when divided by nine days, the mean is 60 customers per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Ziminsky counted the number of customers who bought lunch each day at the Brown Bag Deli. The numbers are 62, 51, 50, 64, 68, 70, 57, 51, and 67. To find the mean number of customers per day, we add up all these numbers and then divide by the total number of days. Here's how the calculation is done:

• Sum of customers = 62 + 51 + 50 + 64 + 68 + 70 + 57 + 51 + 67 = 540
• Number of days = 9
• Mean = Sum of customers ÷ Number of days = 540 ÷ 9

Therefore, the mean number of customers per day is 60.

The correct answer is B. 60.
