Suppose the numbers were
4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Which number could you remove to get a mean of 7?
"The mean of five numbers is 8"
would imply that the total of the 5 numbers had to be 40
So now you have only 4 numbers with a mean of 7
which implies that the new total is 28
What is 40 - 28 ?
thanks for the explaning it. I understand that much better
