The mean of 6 numbers is 19. Two more numbers are included, making 8 numbers with a mean of 23.
The mean formula is:
Mean =Number of valuesSum of all numbers
For the original 6 numbers:
19=6Sum of 6 numbers
Sum of 6 numbers=19×6
Sum of 6 numbers=114
For all 8 numbers:
23=8Sum of 8 numbers
Sum of 8 numbers=23×8
Sum of 8 numbers=184
The sum of the 2 new numbers is the difference between the total sum of 8 numbers and the original sum of 6 numbers:
Sum of 2 new numbers=184−114
Sum of 2 new numbers=70
Therefore, the sum of the two included numbers is 70.
