Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Sum of Candy Bars Sold

To find the mean number of candy bars sold, we first calculate the total number of candy bars sold by summing the individual sales:

\[ \sum_{i=1}^N x_i = 47 + 31 + 26 + 38 + 42 + 26 = 210 \]

Step 2: Count the Number of Students

Next, we count the number of students who reported their sales. In this case, there are \( N = 6 \) students.

Step 3: Calculate the Mean

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

\[ \mu = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^N x_i}{N} = \frac{210}{6} = 35.0 \]

Final Answer

The mean number of candy bars sold is

\[ \boxed{\mu = 35.0} \]
