To find the mean we need to add all the amounts and then divide the result by the number of amounts we have. This is express as:
[tex]\mu=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^nx_i}{n}[/tex]In this case we have a total of six amounts, then n=6. The mean is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mu=\frac{17483+14987+13521+14600+18580+14981}{6} \\ \mu=\frac{94151}{6} \\ \mu=15692 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the mean is $15,692
