What is the average number of cases handled in the summer months? (May-Sept inclusive).

To find the average number of cases handled in the summer months (May through September), we'll follow these steps:

1. **Identify the relevant months and their cases**:
   - May: 1,380
   - June: 1,500
   - July: 1,520
   - August: 1,480
   - September: 1,510

2. **Sum the cases** in these months:
   \[
   1,380 + 1,500 + 1,520 + 1,480 + 1,510 = 7,390
   \]

3. **Calculate the average** by dividing the total number of cases by the number of months:
   \[
   \text{Average} = \frac{7,390}{5} = 1,478
   \]

The average number of cases handled in the summer months is **1,478**.
