Airport Parking The number of short-term parking spaces at 15 airports is shown. Find the mean, median, mode, and midrange for the data. \( \begin{array}{lllll}7425 & 3540 & 8397 & 8543 & 1832\end{array} \) \( 7226 \quad 5995 \quad 51744763667 \) 49887049996655626768 Send data to Excel Part: \( 0 / 4 \) \( \square \) Part 1 of 4 Find the mean. Rounding rule for the mean: round to one more decimal place than the data as needed. Mean: \( \square \)

To find the **mean** number of short-term parking spaces at the 15 airports, follow these steps: ### **Step 1: List the Data** First, identify and list all 15 data points: 1. **7425** 2. **3540** 3. **8397** 4. **8543** 5. **1832** 6. **7226** 7. **5995** 8. **5174** 9. **4763** 10. **6667** 11. **4988** 12. **7049** 13. **9966** 14. **5562** 15. **6768** ### **Step 2: Calculate the Sum** Add all the numbers together: \[ 7425 + 3540 + 8397 + 8543 + 1832 + 7226 + 5995 + 5174 + 4763 + 6667 + 4988 + 7049 + 9966 + 5562 + 6768 = 93,895 \] ### **Step 3: Compute the Mean** Divide the total sum by the number of data points (15): \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{93,895}{15} = 6,259.666\ldots \] ### **Step 4: Round the Mean** According to the rounding rule, round to one more decimal place than the data as needed. Since the original data are whole numbers (no decimal places), round the mean to **one decimal place**: \[ \text{Mean} \approx 6,259.7 \] **Answer:** Mean = **6259.7**
