Solution

To calculate the mean age of the uninsured senior citizens, you need to add up all the ages and then divide by the number of citizens.

Here are the ages: 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 68, 69, 70, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76, 76, 81, 81, 82, 86, 87, 89, 90, 92.

Step 1: Add up all the ages: 60 + 61 + 62 + 63 + 64 + 65 + 66 + 68 + 68 + 69 + 70 + 73 + 73 + 74 + 75 + 76 + 76 + 81 + 81 + 82 + 86 + 87 + 89 + 90 + 92 = 1851

Step 2: Divide the total by the number of citizens: 1851 ÷ 25 = 74.04

So, the mean age of the uninsured senior citizens to the nearest hundredth of a year is 74.04 years. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 74.04 years.
