Missing value that gives a certain mean

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Ten, something, and 7 have a mean of 7. What number is missing?

Mean is the sum divided by the count

So, the sum of the 3 numbers must be 21 if the mean is 7

So 10 plus 7, plus the mystery number equals 21. So our mystery number must be 4

This math skill teaches how to find a missing number in a set so that the set has a specific mean by using the formula for mean (total sum of values divided by number of values).
