Answer: F (cos(230)).
Explanation:
Cosine corresponds to the x coordinate of points on a circle when the radius is drawn in like this, so the answer would be the cos of that angle, but you have to account for the fact that the 50 degree angle marked is just the reference angle not the entire angle so you have to add 180 degrees to that to get 230.
The median is 11, so 11 is part of the data set. We have an odd number of values (5) which is why the median is part of the data set.
The mode is 12. The value 12 shows up the most times. Let's say it shows up twice. So far the data set is {11, 12, 12}
Let's introduce two more numbers x and y
The new data set is {x, y, 11, 12, 12}
Add up the five values and then divide by 5. We want this result to be equal to 10
(x+y+11+12+12)/5 = 10
(x+y+35)/5 = 10
x+y+35 = 10*5
x+y+35 = 50
x+y = 50-35
x+y = 15
So we don't know what x or y is, but we know that they must add to 15. So all you have to do is list two numbers that add to 15. One such pair is x = 6 and y = 9. Another pair is x = 7 and y = 8. There are infinitely many possibilities if you can use any real number.
So one possible set is {6, 9, 11, 12, 12}
Another possible set is {7, 8, 11, 12, 12}
Will got 12 and John got 24.
You would set the equation as:
36=n+2n
Combine like terms
36=3n
Divide 3 from both sides
12=n
If you want to check it
12+2(12)=36
12+24=36
36=36
The answers are A,B, and D! :))
