Question

Ben and Jerry both have 7 numbers in their data set. Ben's average of his data set is 9. If Jerry average is 2 more than Ben, what does Jerry's data points have to sum to be

Answer 1

Jerry's data points have to sum to be 77.

Explanation:

We are given that

Ben and Jerry both have total numbers in their data set=7

Average of Ben's data set=9

Average of Jerry's data set=9+2=11

We have to find the Sum of Jerry's data points.

We know that

Average of data=Sum of numbers/Total number of data points

Using the formula

Average of Jerry' data =Sum of numbers in data/7

11=Sum of numbers in data/7

Sum of numbers=
`11* 7`

Sum of numbers=77

Hence, sum of Jerry' data points=77
