Five numbers has a mean of 12. When one (1) number is removed the mean is 11. What is the value of the number removed?
1 answer:
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of a group of values is calculated as
mean =
Given 5 numbers with a mean of 12, then
= 12 ( multiply both sides by 5 )
sum = 60
let the number removed be x , then
= 11 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
60 - x = 44 ( subtract 60 from both sides )
- x = - 16 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 16
The number removed was 16

To find y you need to insert x into the equation. The equation is y=2x+2, so insert the x on the table to find the y.
y=2(-4)+2=-6
y=2(-2)+2=-2
y=2(0)+2=2
y=2(1)+2=4
y=2(3)+2=8
These follow the equation's rule so it is correct.
Two plot the values of x and y you need to put it in (x,y) then plot it. Then you can check it by using the equation, y=mx+b, the b is the y intercept, so check to see if it starts there, and then check and see if it followings the slope
(-4, -6), (-2, -2), (0, 2), (1, 4), (3, 8)
Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
