AMC12 2022 A · Q6. It mainly tests Averages (mean), Casework.
A data set consists of $6$ (not distinct) positive integers: $1$, $7$, $5$, $2$, $5$, and $X$. The average (arithmetic mean) of the $6$ numbers equals a value in the data set. What is the sum of all positive values of $X$?

Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
First, note that $1+7+5+2+5=20$. There are $3$ possible cases:
Case 1: the mean is $5$.
$X = 5 \cdot 6 - 20 = 10$.
Case 2: the mean is $7$.
$X = 7 \cdot 6 - 20 = 22$.
Case 3: the mean is $X$.
$X= \frac{20+X}{6} \Rightarrow X=4$.
Therefore, the answer is $10+22+4=\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36}$.
首先,注意 $1+7+5+2+5=20$。有3种可能情况:
情况1:平均值是$5$。
$X = 5 \cdot 6 - 20 = 10$。
情况2:平均值是$7$。
$X = 7 \cdot 6 - 20 = 22$。
情况3:平均值是$X$。
$X= \frac{20+X}{6} \Rightarrow X=4$。
因此,答案是 $10+22+4=\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36}$。
