What is the mean of the following list of extra credit points earned on a statistics test? 10,8,18,17,7

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

X : 10,8,18,17,7

The mean value of scores obtained can be obtained thus :

Mean = ΣX / n

n = sample size = 5

Mean = ΣX / n = (10+8+18+17+7) / 5

Mean = 60 / 5 = 12

incomplete question. how do you expect anyone to you when you do not post the question in its entirety?

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
