ANSWER

$x=4$

EXPLANATION

We have $6x-8=16$

We add 8 to both sides of the equation

$6x-8+8=16+8$

We simplify

$6x=24$

We divide both sides by 6

$x=\frac{24}{6}$

$x=4$

The obtained answers for the given frequency distribution are:

(a) The formula for the mean in sigma notation is $\bar x =\frac{1}{n} \sum X_i$ where n is the number of observations; $X_i$ are the n observations.

The mean for the given monthly plan price is $16.1.

(b) The frequency distribution for given data is {$9.99 - 2; $10 - 5; $12 - 1; $12.75 - 2; $14.99 - 6; $20 - 4; $25 - 5}

(c) The formula for the mean using the frequency distribution table is $\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum f_ix_i$ where $N =\sum f_i$ and on applying this formula for the given data, the mean is $16.1.

(d) The median for the given data is $m_e = 14.99$ , and the mode for the given data is $14.99

<h3>What are the mean, median, and mode for a frequency distribution?</h3>

The frequency distribution has sample observations $x_i$ and frequencies $f_i$ .

Then, the mean is calculated by

$\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum f_ix_i$

Where $N =\sum f_i$ (Sum of frequencies)

The median is calculated by

$m_e=\left \{ {{x_{k}} \ if \ n = 2k+1 \atop {\frac{x_{k}+x_{k+1}}{2}} \ if \ n =2k} \right.$

The mode is calculated by

Mode = highest frequency value

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given list of data is

{$14.99, $12.75, $14.99, $14.99, $9.99, $25, $25, $10, $14.99, $10, $20, $10, $20, $14.99, $10, $25, $20, $12, $14.99, $25, $25, $20, $12.75, $10, $9.99}

(a) Formula for the mean using sigma notation and use it to calculate the mean:

The formula for the mean is

$\bar x =\frac{1}{n} \sum X_i$

Where n = 25; $X_i$ - n observations

On substituting,

Mean $\bar x$
