Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean for the first 5 day period = 17

Mean for the second 5 day period = 17.8

Difference 17.8 - 17 = 0.8

The difference between the mean number of customers the florist served during each of the two five-day periods is of 0.8.

-------------------------------

The mean of a data-set is the sum of all values in the data-set divided by the number of values.

-------------------------------

First period:

5 days, mean of 17.

-------------------------------

Second period:

  • First four days, mean of 16, thus total of [tex]4 \times 16 = 64[/tex]
  • Fifth day, 25 customers.

Thus, 64 + 25 = 89 customers in 5 days, and the mean is:

[tex]M = \frac{89}{5} = 17.8[/tex]

-------------------------------

Difference:

17.8 - 17 = 0.8

The difference between the mean number of customers the florist served during each of the two five-day periods is of 0.8.
