"Jocelyn has 6 birds, their mean age is 10. The mode of their ages is 8. What might their ages be." I need to figure out all 6 birds' ages, but how would I be able to find the answer?

Answer 1

total ages = 60
Generally, if the mode is 8 would mean there are more than one age of 8
suppose there are two with age 8,
leaving 44 for the other 4
(11 for the average of the remaining 4)

could have 9 and 13, and 8 and 14

so we could have:
8,8,8,9,13,14

or we could have:
8,8,9,10,12,13

check:of the 1st answer
mean = (8+8+8+9+13+14)/6 = 10
the mode is 8

you check the 2nd case

Answer 2

12

Answer 3

2 and 8

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

you could add up 8,8,8,9,13,14 and that would be 60 so the answer i got was 60

Answer 7

Answer 8
