given that the nine numbers 16, w, 17, 9, x, 2, y, 7 and z have a mean of 11, find the mean of w,x,y and z
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"the nine numbers 16, w, 17, 9, x, 2, y, 7 and z have a mean of 11", so this means


(16 + w + 17 + 9 + x + 2 + y + 7 + z)/9 = 11


(51 + w + x + y + z)/9 = 11


51 + w + x + y + z = 11*9


51 + w + x + y + z = 99


w + x + y + z = 99-51


w + x + y + z = 48


The sum of w,z,y,z is 48. So the average of the 4 values is


(w + x + y + z)/4 = 48/4


(w + x + y + z)/4 = 12
