The mean of a data set is the average of the data set. It can be found by adding up all of the values and then dividing by the total number of values added. In this case, one is given the mean, and one needs to find a missing value. Since there is a missing element, add one to the total number of values in the data set. The missing element is represented by the parameter (x). Set up an equation and solve:
The fraction 5/10 is the same as 50/100 because they are equivalent. It will take 10 group of 10 to get to the denominator 100, so it will take 10 groups of 5 in the numerator to make it equal.
