The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the mean of the new set of scores given that the mean of the original scores is \( x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Mean of the Original Scores**: The mean of the scores \( x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6 \) is given as \( x \). The formula for the mean is: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all scores}}{\text{Number of scores}} \] Therefore, we can express this as: \[ x = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6}{6} \] From this, we can find the sum of the scores: \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6 = 6x \] 2. **Calculating the Mean of the New Scores**: Now we need to find the mean of the new scores \( 5x_1, 5x_2, 5x_3, 5x_4, 5x_5, 5x_6 \). Using the mean formula again: \[ \text{Mean of new scores} = \frac{5x_1 + 5x_2 + 5x_3 + 5x_4 + 5x_5 + 5x_6}{6} \] We can factor out the 5: \[ = \frac{5(x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6)}{6} \] Substituting the sum we found earlier: \[ = \frac{5(6x)}{6} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ = 5x \] ### Final Answer: The mean of \( 5x_1, 5x_2, 5x_3, 5x_4, 5x_5, 5x_6 \) is \( 5x \). ---
