The high temperatures for a 5-day period were as follows: Monday 75°F, Tuesday 82°F, Wednesday 78°F, Thursday 84°F, Friday 81°F. What was the mean (average) high temperature for the 5-day period?

Answer: 80°F
Explanation

High temperatures:

Monday = 75°F

Tuesday = 82°F

Wednesday = 78°F

Thursday = 84°F

Friday = 81°F

Total = 75 + 82 + 78 + 84 + 81 = 400°F

Mean = Total ÷ Number of days = 400 ÷ 5 = 80°F
