In the list of five measurements shown below, one is blurred. What must this value be, if the mean of the five measurements is 6? 8 5 10 3 #.
Answered by Ms. Sue
6 * 5 = 30

What number is missing?

Answered by Renee
Hi Ms. Sue. That is what I'm guessing I have to figure out. They say the median is 6. so out of 8 5 10 3 # I have to figure out what this (#) value is? I don't know if I should do the five number summary and box plot or just box plot??????
Answered by Ms. Sue
Do it whatever way your teacher wants.

Did you get the missing number for the mean?

Answered by Renee
no, I'm struggling with how to figure that out. That's where I am stuck

(8+5+10+3+x)/5 = 6
Answered by Renee
AWESOME! I put 6 in between 3 5 6 8 10 but I thought that was too simple.
Answered by Jen
It's not 6, Renee. You have to solve for x in the equation I made for you.
(8+5+10+3+x)/5=6
(26+x)/5=6
26+x=30
x=?

I got it finally. x=4
