Question

Suponha que uma variável assume os valores: 11 – 8 – 7 – a – 16 – 10 Determine a de modo que a média aritmética seja igual 11.

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 14  

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Mean}&= &\dfrac{11 + 8 + 7 + a + 16 + 10}{6}\\\\\dfrac{52 + a}{6}& = & 11\\52 + a & = & 66\\a & = & 66 - 52\\& = & \mathbf{14}\\\end{array}$
