The mean cost of transportation is £20.80

The peace of data that distorts the mean average is the taxi fares.

Explanation:

Since the mean is the average, you add all the piece of date together then divide by the amount of data.

The equation for that would look something like this:


(8.5 + 7 + 5.7 + 62) / 4
