! Task 1. Bookwork code: G24 Calculator X not allowed Anthony has three number cards, as shown below. The minimum of the three cards is 6. The range of the three cards is 5. What is the mean of Anthony's three cards? Cards are 6, 7 and unknown​

Respuesta :

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the range you need to subtract maximum card number from the minimum card number. We know that the range is 5 and that the minimum card is 6 so we can set up the equation like this to find the maximum shown as x.

[tex]5=x-6[/tex]

Add 6 to both sides

[tex]11=x[/tex]

Now we know all the the numbers of the three cards Anthony has since we were given the minimum = 6, 7, and solved for the last card which was the maximum = 11. In order to find the mean we have to add all of the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are (in this case it will be 3):

[tex]mean=\frac{6+7+11}{3}[/tex]

Add 6+7+11

[tex]mean=\frac{24}{3}[/tex]

Divide by 3

[tex]mean=8[/tex]
