Answer 1

Answer:

13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second digit be x and the last digit be y

Given:

• Data set: 13, x, 4, 16, 6, y
• Mean = 12
• y = 2x or x = 2y

The mean of the data is the average. The average can be calculated by determining the sum of the terms and dividing it by the total digits.

$\implies \text{Mean of data:} \ \dfrac{13 + x + 4 + 16 + 6 + y}{6} = 12$

Let us substitute the value of y (2x) in the data.

$\implies \dfrac{13 + x + 4 + 16 + 6 + 2x}{6} = 12$

Now, add all the terms in the data and simplify.

$\implies \dfrac{39 + x +2x}{6} = 12$

$\implies \dfrac{39 + 3x}{6} = 12$

Distribute the denominators and simplify.

$\implies \dfrac{39}{6} + \dfrac{3x}{6} = 12$

$\implies \dfrac{13}{2} + \dfrac{x}{2} = 12$

$\implies 6.5 + \dfrac{x}{2} = 12$

Subtract 6.5 both sides and simplify.

$\implies 6.5 + \dfrac{x}{2} - 6.5 = 12 - 6.5$

$\implies \dfrac{x}{2} = 5.5$

Use cross multiplication and simplify.

$\implies x= 5.5 \times 2$

$\implies x= 11$

To determine the value of "y", simply substitute the value of "x" into the expression that represents the value of "y".

$\implies y = 2x$

$\implies y = 2(11)$

$\implies y = 22$

When the x and y values are substituted in the data, we get;

• ⇒ 13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22

Therefore, the data is 13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22.
