Hi everyone! Can anyone help me with some questions????
1. Alex scores the following points during the 5 rounds of the game.
154, 190, 143, 180, 125
What must he score in the next round so the mean for all 6 games is at least 160?
A. 158 points
B. 160 points
C. 168 points
D. 182 points
2. The table shows the number of cars of a certain type sold by 25 dealers in the last month. Find the value of x and draw a dot plot to represent the data. Find the total number of cars sold by the 30 car dealers.
-Don't worry about the dot plot! :)-
Table:
Number of Cars: Number of Dealers:
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 x
7 2
8 1
9 1
10 2
A. 142 cars
B. 129 cars
C and D are the same answers, just different dot plots :)
1. Would be A, because mean is adding up all the numbers then dividing it by how many there are.
Ex. 154 + 190 + 143 + 180 + 125 = 792
Then divide by 5 since there is 5 numbers, 792/5 = 158.4 then round to the nearest tenth so 158.
Here's (1)
[154 + 190 + 143 + 180 +125 + x ] / 6 = 160 simplify
[792 + x ] / 6 = 160 multiply both sides by 6
792 + x = 960 subtract 792 from both sides
x = 168 = Answer C
Number (2) is confusing....are there 25 dealers or 30 ???
Cars Dealers Total
2 2 4
3 3 9
4 4 16
5 5 25
6 x ??
7 2 14
8 1 8
9 1 9
10 2 20
Without taking "x" into cosideration, 105 cars have been sold by 20 dealers
If there are 25 dealers, x = 5 and the number of cars sold = 135
If there are 30 dealers, x = 10 and the number of cars sold = 165
