Suppose that the mean score of a class of 28 students was 75.
\n" ); document.write( " The 17 male students in the class had a mean score of 68.
\n" ); document.write( " What was the mean score for the 11 female students?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let g = mean score of the girl student
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2817%2868%29%2B11g%29%29%2F28\" = 75
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%281156%2B11g%29%29%2F28\" = 75
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 28
\n" ); document.write( "1156 + 11g = 28(75)
\n" ); document.write( "1156 + 11g = 2100
\n" ); document.write( "11g = 2100 - 1156
\n" ); document.write( "11g = 944
\n" ); document.write( "g = \"944%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "g = 85.8; the mean score of the girls
