Answer:
The two hidden numbers are 8 and 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean of a data-set:
The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all its values divided by the number of values.
Mode of a data-set:
The mode of a data-set is the value that appears the most.
In this question:
4, 9, x, y, 8
Mode is 8 means that at least one of them must be 8, so i will say x is 8 and we have:
4, 9, 8, y, 8
The mean of the five numbers is 6
This means that:
[tex]\frac{4+9+8+y+8}{5} = 6[/tex]
[tex]29+y = 30[/tex]
[tex]y = 30 - 29[/tex]
[tex]y = 1[/tex]
The two hidden numbers are 8 and 1.
