Question

The mean of six numbers is 8, and the mean of another four numbers is 5.

What is the mean of all ten numbers?​

Answer 1

6.8

Explanation:

8 * 6 = 48 (to reverse dividing by 6 to basically un-average the 6 numbers).

5 * 4 = 20 (to un-average these numbers as well).

48 + 20 = 68

68 / 10 = 6.8

Basically by doing this you are still adding all the numbers together & then dividing by 10 as if you added them all up at once & not in a group of 6 & a group of 4.

Hope this helped. :)
