Q. Colton has the following data:\newline19,14,16,h,1619, 14, 16, h, 16\newlineIf the mean is 1515, which number could hh be?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)(A) 1010\newline(B)(B) 2525
  1. Calculate sum excluding h: Calculate the sum of the given numbers excluding hh to find the total sum needed for a mean of 1515.\newlineSum of known numbers = 19+14+16+16=6519 + 14 + 16 + 16 = 65\newlineMean formula: (Total sum of all numbers)/(Number of numbers)=Mean(\text{Total sum of all numbers}) / (\text{Number of numbers}) = \text{Mean}\newlineHere, (65+h)/5=15(65 + h) / 5 = 15
  2. Solve for h: Solve for h. \newline(65+h)/5=15(65 + h) / 5 = 15\newlineMultiply both sides by 55 to isolate the term with hh.\newline65+h=7565 + h = 75
  3. Subtract to find hh: Subtract 6565 from both sides to solve for hh.\newlineh=7565h = 75 - 65\newlineh=10h = 10
