Answer: $10.50

Explanation:

Given the following :

Number of people entering the park = X

Mean number of people = 3

Fixed admission fee = $6

Additional fee per passenger = $1.50

Therefore, mean total paid by a car entering the park :

MEAN Total = Admission fee + (additional fee * mean number of people entering the park)

mean Total = $6 + ($1.50 * 3)

Mean total = $6 + $4.50 = $10.50
