The average (arithmetic mean) of a set of n numbers is 19. If the average of the 6 greatest numbers in the set is 29 and the average of the remaining numbers is 7, what is the value of n?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of numbers whose average is 7 is (n-6), so the overall equation for the average of the numbers in the set is ...

  (7(n-6) +6(29))/n = 19

  7n +132 = 19n . . . . multiply by n, collect terms

  132 = 12n . . . . . . . . subtract 7n

  11 = n . . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 12

The value of n is 11.
