ACTIVITY 2

1. The sizes of pants sold during one business day in a department store are 32, 38, 34, 42,
36, 34, 40, 32, 34. Find the average size of the pants sold.

Step 1: Add the sizes of the pants sold during one business day in the department store.
32 + 38 + 34 + 42 + 36 + 34 + 40 + 44 + 32 + 34 = 366
Step 2: Find the average size of the pants sold by using this formula.

Mean=

The average size of the pants sold is between 36.6 or 37

2. Given the frequency distribution for the weights of 50 pieces of luggage. Compute the
mean.
