To find the average shipping cost, add all the shipping costs together and then divide by the number of retailers. The total shipping cost is $3.00 + $2.84 + $2.40 + $3.02 + $2.80 + $2.51 = $16.57. Dividing this total by 6 (the number of retailers) gives an average shipping cost of $16.57 / 6 = $2.76.
