Let's go through each answer choice and eliminate the choices.
a) 6(2/3) = 4, this is less than 6, making it our correct answer, but still go and check each answer
b) 6(2/3) again = 4, this is less than 6, making this answer choice wrong.
c) 6(3/2) = 9, this is greater than 6, making this answer choice wrong.
d) 6(3/3) = 6, this is equal to 6, making this answer choice wrong.
x = 7
y = 8
All I did was assume x was 7 and y was 8. I added 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 together. I got 35. Then, I divided by five (since that's how many numbers are shown) and I got 7 for the mean. 7 is the median, and the 7 is the mean gotten from 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Therefore, x must equal 7 and y must equal 8.
