Question

Statistics 4. Hol (a) The average age of 5 students is 9 years. Out of them, the ages of 4 students are 5, 7, 8, and 15 years. What is the age of the remaining student? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

the average or mean value is the sum of all data points divided by the number of data points.

x = the unknown age of the 5th student.

average = 9 = (5 + 7 + 8 + 15 + x)/5

45 = 5 + 7 + 8 + 15 + x = 35 + x

x = 45 - 35 = 10

the 5th student is 10 years old.
