Question

Consider the following list of new car prices:

Lexus $46,500 Eclipse $27,900
Infiniti $37,800 Jeep $21,300
Honda $18,900 Toyota $19,500
How much more is the Lexus than the mean of the other five cars?

Answer 1

To find how much more the Lexus is than the mean of the other five cars, calculate the mean price of the five cars and subtract it from the price of the Lexus.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much more the Lexus is than the mean of the other five cars, we first need to calculate the mean price of those five cars. The mean is found by summing up the prices of the five cars and then dividing by 5. In this case, the sum of the prices would be $27,900 + $37,800 + $21,300 + $18,900 + $19,500 = $125,400. Dividing that by 5 gives us a mean of $25,080. Next, we subtract the mean of the five cars from the price of the Lexus: $46,500 - $25,080 = $21,420. Therefore, the Lexus is $21,420 more than the mean of the other five cars.

Answer 2

1) (27900+37800+21300+18900+19500)/5= 25080
2) 46500-25080= 21420
3) The Lexus is $21420 more than the mean of the other five cars.
