Question

If the mean is 3,5,8,k,14 and 17 is 11 what is the value of k​

Answer 1

k = 19

Explanation:

`(3+5+8+14+17+k)/(6) = 11`

`(6)/(1) *(3+5+8+14+17+k)/(6) = 11*(6)/(1)`

3 + 5 + 8 + 14 + 17 + k = 66

47 + k = 66

-47 -47

k = 19

Answer 2

19

Explanation:

mean = (sum of numbers)/(number of numbers)

3, 5, 8, k, 14, 17

There are 6 numbers.

The sum of the numbers is 3 + 5 + 8 + k + 14 + 17

mean = (3 + 5 + 8 + k + 14 + 17)/6

mean = 11

(3 + 5 + 8 + k + 14 + 17)/6 = 11

(47 + k)/6 = 11

47 + k = 66

k = 19
