What is the age of the person who entered the room

The age of the person who entered the room is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ages of 5 people in a room are:

17, 16, 15, 17, 22

A person enters room, the mean age of 6 people is 17.

We need to find the age of person who entered the room.

We know that:

Now, we have mean of 6 people that is 17

We know the age of 5 people while age of one person is unknown.

Let age of person which is unknown= x

So, we can write:

Sum of all data values = 17+16+ 15+ 17+ 22+x

where x is the age of person who enters the room.

Finding x

So, we get the value of x: x=15

Therefore, the age of the person who entered the room is 15.
