Errrrmmm what fan and medal The mean weight of the packages Joan shipped was 2.5 pounds. If Joan mailed four packages and three of them had weights of 1.7, 3.2, and 2.8 pounds, then what did the other package weigh? 2.3 2.8 3.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is mean all of them added ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide by four

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Mean = sum of data / count of data 2.5 = (1.7 + 3.2+2.8+x)/4 Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k i solved it and got 2.5

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Try again...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i plugged in 2.3 lol forgot to put that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4(2.5)-(1.7+3.2+2.8)=2.3

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay, sounded like you meant 2.5 is the answer, which it is not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
