 ______25. You are the manager of a retail store, and you are interested in analyzing
the sales of a particular product. You collect data on the number of units sold
each day over a period of 10 days, and you calculate the following statistics:
2

Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the mean?

A. The mean represents the average number of units sold per day over the 10-
day period. In other words, if the sales were spread evenly across the 10
days, we would expect to sell approximately 25 units per day.
B. The mean represents the number of units sold per day over the 10-day
period. In other words, if the sales were spread evenly across the 10 days, we
would expect to sell approximately 25 units per day.
C. The mean represents the total number of units sold per day over the 10-day
period. In other words, if the sales were spread evenly across the 10 days, we
would expect to sell approximately 25 units per day.
D. The mean represents the different number of units sold per day over the 10-
day period. In other words, if the sales were spread evenly across the 10
days, we would expect to sell approximately 25 units per day.

item 25. Which of the following interpretation is correct?

25 units of the mean.
D. This means that on an average day, we can expect the sales to be within
5 units of the mean.
