Answer:
x = 7 & y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that
Mean = Sum of terms/Total terms
=> Mean = 4 + 6 + x + y + 10/5
=> Mean = 20 + x + y/5
Now,
Median = (n + 1)/2
=> Median = (5 + 1)/2
=> Median = 6/3
=> Median = 3rd term = x
So,
x = 20 + x + y/5
x × 5 = 20 + x + y
5x = 20 + x + y
5x - x = 20 + y
4x = 20 + y
Since x and y are in order so,
Possible outcomes will be 7,8 & 9
(7,8) & (8,9) & (7,9)
Taking x = 7 and y = 8
4(7) = 20 + 8
28 = 28
Hence,
x = 7 and y = 8
You multiply 6.5 *4 =26 then you multiply 26 *6= 156 so that's $156.00.
