Solution
The correct option is C 171.5 An average is defined as the sum of all data points divided by the total number of data points.
To find the average number of hot dogs sold, we divide the sum of the total number of hot dogs sold by the total number of vendors selling them.
Thus, Average=145+162+201+1784=171.5
Hence, the average number of hot dogs sold by Bonnie, Stacey, Heather, and Max is 171.5.
