Solution

To find the mean of the recorded exam scores, we first need to sum all the scores and then divide by the number of scores. Here's the process:

Step 1: List the exam scores.

The recorded exam scores are: 82, 1, 13, 93, 40, 92, 36, 50, 71, 9, 58, 91, 45, 76, 99

Step 2: Count the total number of scores.

There are 15 scores.

Step 3: Calculate the sum of all the scores.

82+1+13+93+40+92+36+50+71+9+58+91+45+76+99=85682 + 1 + 13 + 93 + 40 + 92 + 36 + 50 + 71 + 9 + 58 + 91 + 45 + 76 + 99 = 856

Step 4: Calculate the mean.

Mean=Sum of scoresNumber of scores=8561557.1\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of scores}}{\text{Number of scores}} = \frac{856}{15} \approx 57.1

Thus, the mean score is 57.1 (rounded to one decimal place).
