Answer 1

Explanation:

Firstly,

What is the mean?

The mean is where you add up all the number then divide the total by how many numbers there are.

8th number?

1.4.1

2. 5.7

3. 6.1

4. 2.3

5. 3.1

6. 4.5

7. 4.1

8. x

Opposite way:

4.1 + 5.7 + 6.1 + 2.3 + 3.1 + 4.5 + 4.1 = 29.9

(29.9 x) / (8) = 3.7375

3.7375 + x = 4.1375

4.1375 - 3.7375 = 0.4
