Find the value of x such that the data set has the given mean. 101, 120, 104, 115, 108, x ; mean 117 x = Type an integer or a decimal)

Answer 1

We can start by using the formula for the mean:

mean = (sum of all the numbers in the data set) / (number of numbers in the data set)

We know the mean is 117, and we can plug in the values of the other numbers:

117 = (101 + 120 + 104 + 115 + 108 + x) / 6

Now we can solve for x by multiplying both sides by 6 and simplifying:

702 = 548 + x

154 = x

Therefore, the value of x that would give the data set a mean of 117 is 154.
