his job, Kwame completed a mean of 12 orders the first 4 days of the week. On the 5th day, he completed 22 orders. What was the mean number of orders Kwame completed for those 5 days?



Answer :

Answer:

14 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean can be defined as the average amount over a given time period. In this case, the mean of 12 orders over 4 days means that Kwame completed an average of 12 orders a day for 4 days. This means that over 4 days, we can find the number of orders completed by multiplying the average by the number of days, in this case 4 x 12, which equals 48 orders completed over 4 days.

We are told on the 5th day that Kwame completes 22 orders, so we can use our previously given information to find the new mean of order completed over 5 days:

  • First, we add up the total number of orders completed over the 5 days, which can be found by adding 48 and 22, which equals 70
  • Next, we find the mean by dividing this number by the total number of days, meaning we divide 70 by 5 to get 14

The mean number of orders Kwame completed over 5 days is 14 orders.
