Jambmaths question:
The mean of seven numbers is 10. If six of the numbers are 2, 4, 8,16 and 18. Find the mode.
Jamb Maths Solution:
$\begin{align} & \text{Let the seventh number be }x \\ & \text{The sum of the six numbers will be }2+4+8+14+16+18=62 \\ & \text{The mean of the seven number is }10 \\ & \therefore \bar{x}=\frac{62+x}{7}=10 \\ & 62+x=70 \\ & x=8 \\ & \text{The mode is 8} \\\end{align}$
