Concept:
The relationship between the mean, the sum of observations, and the number of observations is given by the formula:
\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of Observations}}{\text{Number of Observations}} \]
By rearranging this formula, we can find the sum if the other two variables are known.
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Mean = 41
Number of observations (\( n \)) = 6
Step 2: Calculate the sum.
\[ \text{Sum} = \text{Mean} \times n \]
\[ \text{Sum} = 41 \times 6 \]
\[ \text{Sum} = 246 \]
