Basic Math › Mean
Reginald has scores of {87, 79, 95, 91} on the first four exams in his Spanish class. What is the minimum score he must get on the fifth exam to get an A (90 or higher) for his final grade?
98
90
71
82
95
To find the fifth score, we need to set the average of all of the scores equal to 90.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
Subtract 352 from both sides of equation.
If the average of numbers is
and the average of
numbers is
, what is the average of all the numbers?
To find the average of all the numbers, we need to find the sums from each average. Since the average of numbers is
, that means the sum is
.
The average of numbers is
means the sum is
.
Then, the total sum is which is the sum of all the numbers.
So to find average, we do divided by
to get
.
What is the mean of the following numbers?
88,99,31,47,68,27
To find the mean you add all of the numbers together and divide it by the amount of numbers. In this case there are six numbers so
The answer is .
The mean of the set is 20. What is the mean of the set
?
To find mean, we add up the values in a set and divide by the number of terms in that set. We begin this problem with the knowledge that the mean of the first set is 20. Since that set contains five numbers, we know that its total sum must be 100 (since 100 divided by 5 is 20).
so must be 25.
Now, the only step left is to find the mean of .
These values add up to 125, and when we divide by 5, we are left with a final answer of 25.
What is the mean of 44, 22, 134, and 200?
100
88
144
66
To find the mean, you must add all of the numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers. In this case there are four numbers so, we must deivide the total sum by 4.
Find the mean of the following numbers:
150, 88, 141, 110, 79
113.6
110
71
88
141
The mean is the average. The mean can be found by taking the sum of all the numbers (150 + 88 + 141 + 110 + 79 = 568) and then dividing the sum by how many numbers there are (5).
Our answer is 113 3/5, which can be written as a decimal.
Therefore 113 3/5 is equivalent to 113.6, which is our answer.
Find the mean of the following set of numbers:
Find the mean of the following set of numbers:
Finding the mean of a number set is essentially finding the average.
Begin by summing the numbers, then divide by the total number of terms.
Now, since there are 12 terms in the series, divide by 12
So our mean is 104.5
The mean of the following set is 8. What is ?

Cannot be determined
Let .
We know the mean is 8, and there are five values in the set, including the unknown .
Simplify.
Plug back into equation at top.
Find the mean of the following set of numbers: 32, 23, 46, 52, 37.
To find the mean, or average, of a set of numbers, you first add all of the numbers together:
.
Then, you divide the sum by the total number of numbers, which in this set is 5 (i.e., there are 5 numbers in this set):
.
38 is the mean, or average, of this set of numbers.
Find the mean of the following set of numbers:
To find the mean of a set of numbers, you must add them all and then divide their sum by the number of total members of the set.
and there are
numbers in the set, so we divide
by
,
giving us a mean of .
