To find the mean number of days employees were sick, you need to calculate the average of the given data. Let's refer to the table provided by Ms. Carter:

| Employee | Sick Days |
|----------|-----------|
| E1 | 1 |
| E2 | 2 |
| E3 | 3 |
| E4 | 4 |
| E5 | 4 |
| E6 | 3 |
| E7 | 3 |
| E8 | 2 |
| E9 | 1 |
| E10 | 2 |

To find the mean, you sum up all the sick days taken by each employee:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 25

Next, divide the sum by the total number of employees, which in this case is 10:

25 / 10 = 2.5

Therefore, the mean number of days employees were sick is 2.5. Rounding this to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 2.50 days.

The options provided are:
A. 3.63 days
B. 2 days
C. 3.22 days
D. 3 days

Based on our calculation, the answer is not provided among the options. The closest option to the calculated mean is option B, which is 2 days, but it does not precisely match the calculated value of 2.5 days.

mean is the same as average

add the number of days , and divide by four
