\n" ); document.write( "In a sample of n = 6 scores, the smallest score is X = 3, the largest score is X = 10, and the mean is M = 6. If the largest score is changed from X = 10 to X = 22, then what is the value of the new mean?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n = 6
\n" ); document.write( "smallest score is 3
\n" ); document.write( "largest score is 10
\n" ); document.write( "mean is 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the mean is 6 and there are 6 scores, then the total of all the scores has to be equal to 6 * 6 = 36\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you change the largest score from 10 to 22, then the total score is increased by 12 to become 48.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n remains at 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the mean is now 48 / 6 = 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "not sure what the smallest score has to do with it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it does not appear to be a necessary factor in solving this problem.\r
