The
range
of their
ages
is 16. How old is each person?
Answers
MEAN AGE OF 3 PEOPLE = 22 (Mean is the sum of ages divided by no. of people here)
So sum of their ages = 22 × 3 = 66
MEDIAN = 20(Median is the middle number)
so one of the numbers is 20. So sum of other 2 = 66 - 20 = 46
Range = 16 (difference between highest and lowest number)
So X = Highest number X + X - 16 = 46
X - 16 = Lowest number = 2X - 16 = 46 (make 16 to the other side)
= 2X = 46 + 16 (- becomes + when taken to the
= 2x = 62 other side)
So X = 62/2 = 31 . so X - 16 = 31 - 16 = 15 So the ages of each person are 15 , 20 , 31 Hope this helps :)
