b.About 12,240
c.About 15,962
d.About 6,217

Answer 1

Answer:

a. about 8327

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual arithmetic mean number of degrees awarded can be computed by adding the number of degrees awarded and then dividing their sum by number of years.

Let x be the number of degrees awarded in computer science.

sumx=4033+5652+6407+7201+8719+11154+15121=58287

n=number of years=7

annual arithmetic mean=58287/7=8326.71

Thus, the annual arithmetic mean number of degrees awarded are about 8327.
