Using the mean concept, it is found that we will need 15 more points to bring up his average up to 90%.
The mean of a data-set is the <u>sum of all observations divided by the number of observations</u>.
In this problem:
- In the first 5 observations, total of 21 out of 25 points, hence the mean for these observations is
.
- In the next n observations, mean of 1.
Hence, the mean is:
We want the mean to be of 0.9, thus:
3 more testes are need, each worth 5 points, hence, 15 more points are needed to bring up his average up to 90%.
