To find the mean commission, add all the commissions together and then divide by the total number of commissions. The sum of the commissions is $2965.95 + $2743.78 + $2972.72 + $3591.18 + $4897.62 + $4202.64 + $1330.73 + $2341.77 + $4722.08 + $2260.74 = $32028.21. There are 10 commissions in total. So, the mean commission is $32028.21 / 10 = $3202.821, which rounds to $3202.92.
