Question

The mean of eight numbers is 41
The mean of two of the numbers is 29

What is the mean of the other six numbers?

Answer 1

"mean" basically meant the average..
So if the average of 8 numbers is 41
What would the TOTAL of these 8 numbers be? (to do this, multiply 8 by 41)

Secondly, follow the same method and find out the total of the two numbers which have an average of 29 (so, multiply 2 by 29).

Answer 2

Okay so 8 x 41 = 328 and 2 x 29 = 58...

Answer 3

Excellent :)!
So now we know that ALL 8 numbers must add up to 328 right?
We also know that TWO of the 8 numbers have a total of 58..

So now we need to find the sum of the other 6 numbers...
328 - 58 = ?

Answer 4

270

Answer 5

yes :)
The sum of the other 6 numbers = 270
The question asks you to find the "mean" /average of these 6 numbers.
We know the total = 270 so divide it by 6 and you'll get your mean :)!

Answer 6
