Q. Sophia has the following data:11,10,10,12,uIf the mean is 11, which number could u be?Choices:(A)12(B)7
Calculate Sum: Calculate the sum of the given numbers excluding u. Sum = 11+10+10+12Sum = 43
Find Total Sum: Use the mean formula to find the total sum of all numbers.Mean = 11Total numbers = 5Total sum = Mean × Total numbersTotal sum = 11×5Total sum = 55
Solve for u: Solve for u by subtracting the sum of the known numbers from the total sum.Total sum = Sum of known numbers + u55=43+uu=55−43u=12
