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 $X$?
一个数据集包含6个(不一定不同)正整数:$1$、$7$、$5$、$2$、$5$ 和 $X$。这6个数的平均值(算术平均)等于数据集中的一个值。所有正值 $X$ 的和是多少?
(A) 10 10
(B) 26 26
(C) 32 32
(D) 36 36
(E) 40 40
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 $10+22+4=\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36}$。
