To find the mean we need to add all the amounts and then divide the result by the number of amounts we have. This is express as:


\mu=(\sum_(i=1)^nx_i)/(n)

In this case we have a total of six amounts, then n=6. The mean is:


\begin{gathered} \mu=(17483+14987+13521+14600+18580+14981)/(6) \\ \mu=(94151)/(6) \\ \mu=15692 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the mean is $15,692
