    Grade 6th on Khan Academy: By the 6th grade, you're becoming a sophisticated mathemagician. You'll be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide any non-negative numbers (including decimals and fractions) that any grumpy ogre throws at you. Mind-blowing ideas like exponents (you saw these briefly in the 5th grade), ratios, percents, negative numbers, and variable expressions will start being in your comfort zone. Most importantly, the algebraic side of mathematics is a whole new kind of fun! And if that is not enough, we are going to continue with our understanding of ideas like the coordinate plane (from 5th grade) and area while beginning to derive meaning from data! (Content was selected for this grade level based on a typical curriculum in the United States.)
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.

    Simpler method
    Add the data or Ages: 5+2+2+4+8 = 21
    Multiply the mean to the *AMOUNT* of the data or ages: 4 x 6 = 24
    Subtract The SUM of the Ages to the PRODUCT of the mean and amount of ages: 24 - 21 = 3
    The missing data or age is 3

      @@jillianglasser7405 That can never be the case - by definition of the mean, if you multiply the mean times the amount of data points (the different ages in this case) you will get EXACTLY the sum of the data points (sum of the ages in this case).
      Both methods are applicable to solve these types of questions.

    If you want a simpler way to solve or comprehend problems like this, I'll show you a trick that I developed randomly while I was solving my homework. I will use the same example used by Sal in this video.
    First, do the mean times # of ages in this case. 4 times 6 = 24
    Then, add all of the # of ages that you already have. 5+2+2+4+8=21
    Finally, subtract your mean from the total # of ages you have. 24-21=3
    Both methods that Sal and I used got the same result but in a similar yet different way.

    You can also-
    1. Add all values from the data (table).
    2. Multiply the mean/average by the number of how many values there are.
    3. Subtract the product from the sum, or vise versa.

      You calculate the "MEAN" by adding all the numbers you want to add and divide it by the amount of things you added
      Ex:
      Find mean of- 33,65,889,59,99
      All of it added is-1145
      Divide (1145/5)
      Mean=229

    There are 6 numbers and the mean is 4. Adding all the numbers there are shown is 21, and you would divide the number by how many numbers there are, that's 6, so after it would be 4x6 which is 24, so the missing number is 3.

    • @CAceDubz
      @CAceDubz 4 года назад

      Let's say that we only have the numbers 5, 2, 2, 4 and the last 2 are missing. Add up the numbers you have
      5+2+2+4+x+x which is 13.
      Multiply the amount of numbers/variables (6) to the mean (4)
      You get 24
      24-13=11
      The rest is a guessing game. If you have 2 missing numbers/variables (like this example), split 11 any way you feel like it would make sense. If you can't afford to guess then I don't know. I'm not a professional at math like Khan so I don't know any better way. In Khans video, the numbers are 8 and 3.
