To increase the mean of 4 numbers by 2. by how much would the sum of the 4 numbers have to increase?

1 answer:

4 0

So mean also translates to average so
the mean of 4 numbers is aprox
x=average
(x+x+x+x)/4=average
to increase x by 2 you add 2
x+2=average
(x+2+x+2+x+2+x+2)=4=(4x+8)/4=x+2

you would have to increase the sum/total by 8 to make the numbers' averages' go up by 2

The answer is B, 2136

Explanation:
48-28 = 20. Now 20 times 20 equals 400, now remember that number.
Now 28 times 62 equals 1,736.
Now back to 400.
400+1736 equals 2,136.

Hope I helped you, please tell me if I am correct or not.

Takashi Caldwell has health insurance that pays 80 percent of coverage charges after a $150 deductible. She received a statement

liq [111]

Subtract the deductible from the total:

350 - 150 = 200

Takashi then needs to pay 20% of what is left.
