Answer:
x = 66
Step-by-step explanation:
For a set of N numbers:
{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}
The mean can be calculated as:
[tex]M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ...+ x_n}{N}[/tex]
In this case we have the data set:
{98, 122, 104, 115, 107, x}
And I assume that we want to have the mean = 102.
So we have a set of 6 numbers, the mean of this set will be:
[tex]M = \frac{98 +122+104+115+107+x}{6} = 102[/tex]
We need to solve this equation for x.
If we multiply both sides by 6, we get:
(98 + 122 + 104 + 115 + 107 + x) = 102*6 = 612
546 + x = 612
x = 612 - 546 = 66
x = 66
