Question

If the mean of 5 integers is 17, what is the largest possible number if they are all positive and none are repeated?

Answer 1

hello

Answer 2

Do you mean "what is the largest possible integer?"

Answer 3

ya

Answer 4

If the mean of 5 integers is 17, what is the largest possible integer if they are all positive and none are repeated?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

What does "mean" denote here? How does one calculate an arithmectic mean?

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

Can you show me the process of how to solve this problem

Answer 9

what's the mean of 2, 5 and 7?

How do you calculate it?

Answer 10

why 2 and 5 and 7 ?

Answer 11

the mean is 14

Answer 12

wait

Answer 13

its 7

Answer 14

Better look up "arithmetic mean." 7 is not the arithmetic mean of 2, 5 and 7 in my example.

Answer 15

the branch of mathematics dealing with the properties and manipulation of numbers.

Answer 16

the mean is 4.66666666666666666

Answer 17

That's better. I gave you 3 sample numbers: 2, 5 and 7. To find the arithmetic mean of thse 3 numbers, you add them together and divide this sum by 3 (since there are 3 data points).

Answer 18

i know

Answer 19

can you you help me this my problem

Answer 20

please solve the problem with detail

Answer 21

Hold it, please. I was making certain you understand what "arithmetic mean" means in this context, and it wqs clear that you needed review.

Unfortunately, OpenStudy was not set up to "solve problems in detail" and to give you the answer. How did you develop such an expectation?

My job is to help you find your own solutions.

suppose that the mean of five numbers (all of which are positive and none of which are duplicates) is 17. What formula would express that fact symbolically?

Answer 22

17*5

Answer 23

that's not the mean.

Review: How does one calculate an arithmetic mean, of, say, five integers?

Answer 24

may i just have the answer.

Answer 25

85

Answer 26

hello

Answer 27

I am turned off by your asking, "May I just have the answer?" As I explained before, OpenStudy has rules of operations that forbid students' asking for direct answers and also forbids other users from handing out direct answers without student involvement.

When it became evident that you did not understand the concept of arithmetic mean, I attempted to help with that by giving you an example, which you brushed aside.

I do not know, at least not immediately, how to answer this problem. To get a feeling for that, I'd have to experiment. I 'm not willing to do that if you're pushing me along and asking for the answer without any effort or investment on your part. Sorry.

You could repost this question, or wait for some other user to respond.

Answer 28

ok bye

Answer 29

Good bye.
