Q. Nicole has the following data:\newline13,10,s,13,13,1013, 10, s, 13, 13, 10\newlineIf the mean is 1212, which number could ss be?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)(A)1313\newline(B)(B)3131
  1. Calculate sum and set equation: Step 11: Calculate the sum of the known numbers and set up the equation for the mean.\newlineGiven numbers: 13,10,s,13,13,1013, 10, s, 13, 13, 10. Mean = 1212.\newlineSum of known numbers = 13+10+13+13+10=5913 + 10 + 13 + 13 + 10 = 59.\newlineMean equation: (59+s)/6=12(59 + s) / 6 = 12
  2. Solve for s: Step 22: Solve for s.\newlineMultiply both sides by 66 to eliminate the fraction:\newline(59+s)=12×6(59 + s) = 12 \times 6\newline59+s=7259 + s = 72
  3. Isolate ss: Step 33: Isolate ss.s=7259s = 72 - 59s=13s = 13
