Answer:

Average low temp. = 6. The fourth number is 9.

Explanation:

To find the average of 7 low temperatures, add them and divide the sum by 7.

Average low temp. = (5 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 1) / 7 = 42 / 7 = 6

The mean is the average. Call the missing number x.

There are four numbers, three of which are given. Add all the number, including the unknown x, then divide the sum by 4. The result is 7 (given in the problem).


(5+7+7+x)/(4)=7\\(19+x)/(4)=7\\19+x=28\\x=9
