Answer:

The number of cyclists on week 4 is 53.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated by dividing the sum of numbers by how many number there are. In this case we have 4 weeks. The mean is 43, meaning in total, Rita had recorded

[tex]43 \times 4 = 172[/tex]

172 cyclists.

Now we can subtract the number of cyclists recorded on every other week, leaving the answer to the question.

[tex]172 - 42 - 39 - 38 = 53[/tex]

Rita recorded 53 cyclists on week 4.
