What was the average population of the town over all the years?
Answer: A
To find the average, we sum the populations and divide by the number of years.
Total population = 50 + 55 + 62 + 70 + 75 + 82 = 394 thousand.
Number of years = 6.
Average = \(\frac{394}{6} = 65.666...\) thousand, which is approximately 65,667.
