Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Nature of the Data

The data represents the number of customers waiting for a table at Bobak's Restaurant, which is a countable quantity. Therefore, the data is classified as discrete.

The conclusion is: \[ \text{The data are discrete because there are a finite or countable number of values.} \]

Step 2: Construct the Frequency Distribution

The frequency distribution of the number of customers is as follows:

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Number of Customers} & \text{Frequency} \\ \hline 1-3 & 1 \\ 4-6 & 8 \\ 7-9 & 20 \\ 10-12 & 9 \\ 13-15 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Mean

The mean \( \mu \) of the data is calculated using the formula:

\[ \mu = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^N x_i}{N} = \frac{323}{40} = 8.07 \]

Thus, the mean of the data is: \[ \mu = 8.07 \]

Final Answer

  • The data is discrete.
  • The frequency distribution is provided above.
  • The mean of the data is \( \mu = 8.07 \).

\[ \boxed{\text{The data are discrete.}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Frequency Distribution:}} \] \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Number of Customers} & \text{Frequency} \\ \hline 1-3 & 1 \\ 4-6 & 8 \\ 7-9 & 20 \\ 10-12 & 9 \\ 13-15 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array} \] \[ \boxed{\mu = 8.07} \]
