The mean of a set of numbers is simply the average of all the numbers
This is obtained using
[tex]\operatorname{mean}=\frac{The\text{ sum of all numbers}}{total\text{ numbers in the set}}[/tex][tex]Mean=\frac{17485+14987+13592+14600+18570+14978}{6}[/tex]Simplifying
[tex]\text{Maen}=\frac{79234}{6}=13205.67[/tex]Therefore, the mean will be
$13,206 (To the nearest whole number)
