Q. Nicole has the following data:13,10,s,13,13,10If the mean is 12, which number could s be?Choices:(A)13(B)31
Calculate sum and set equation: Step 1: Calculate the sum of the known numbers and set up the equation for the mean.Given numbers: 13,10,s,13,13,10. Mean = 12.Sum of known numbers = 13+10+13+13+10=59.Mean equation: (59+s)/6=12
Solve for s: Step 2: Solve for s.Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the fraction:(59+s)=12×659+s=72
Isolate s: Step 3: Isolate s.s=72−59s=13
