recorded at a certain weather station was x degrees. If the average for the first 13 days of
the month was ( x − 10) degrees, what was the average, in degrees, for the remaining 17 days
of the month?
130 x + 17 17 x + 10 17 x + 130
(A) x + 10 (B) 17 x + 130 (C) (D) (E)
x 17 17

여기서 17일의 평균 온도를 y 라 가정하면 아래의 식을 구할 수 있습니다:


13( x − 10) + 17 y
= x , 이 식을 in terms of x 에 의해 y 를 구하면 답을 구할 수 있죠.

18. A statistician calculated the average (arithmetic mean) for 20 measurements to be 50. On
rechecking the calculations, the statistician found that a measurement of “78” had been treated
as “18” and a measurement of “40” had been treated as “50”. If no other errors were made,
what is the correct average for the 20 measurements?
(A) 47.5 (B) 50.0 (C) 51.0 (D) 52.5 (E) 53.5

통계학자는 20개의 측정치에 대한 평균은 50이라고 계산했습니다. 검산 중에 측정치78을


18로 40을 50으로 잘못 계산했다고 합니다.올바른 평균값을 물어 보고 있습니다.
측정치 78을 18로 계산했으면 +60만큼의 차이가 40을 50으로 계산했으면 –10만큼의 오류가
발생했습니다. 따라서 두 값의 합인 50을 20으로 나누어 그 값 2.5을 기존에 구했던 평균
값 50에 더하여 주면 52.5가 됩니다.

(A) 13.2
(B) 15.6
(C) 16.8
(D) 18.2
(E) 19.5

12, 14, 17, 23의 합은 66입니다. K값의 범위만이 주어져 있으므로 평균값을 구하기 위한 5개
정수 합의 범위는 81(=66+15) < sum < 91(=66+25)인 것을 알 수 있습니다. 81와 91을 5로

16.8뿐입니다.

20. In performing a sequence of experiments, a scientist made 20 measurements. The average


(arithmetic mean) of these measurements was 34. For security reasons the scientist coded the
data by multiplying each of the measurements by 10 and then adding 40 to each product.
What is the average of the coded measurements?
(A) 1,140 (B) 380 (C) 342 (D) 57 (E) 19

sum
20회 측정의 평균값이 34, 그러면 총 합은 = 34( average) 20×34 = 680입니다.
20
여기서 각 measurement에 10을 곱했다면 그 값은 680에 10을 곱한 값 6800과 같습니다.
이번에는 각 measurement에 40씩 더했다면 그 값은 40×20 = 800이 되고 위의 값 6800과
800을 더한 후 20으로 나누어주면 7600 ÷ 20 = 380. 이 값이 우리가 찾는 값이네요.

23. The average (arithmetic mean) price of the 5 houses on a certain street is $60,000. If the
price of the least expensive house is $55,000 which of the following could NOT be the price of
the most expensive house?
(A) $82,000 (B) $78,000 (C) $72,000 (D) $65,000 (E) $62,500

5houses
= $60,000 , 다섯 집 가격의 sum은 $300,00입니다. 여기서 가장 싼 집의 가격이

$55,000이라 했죠. 나머지 네 집 중 가장 비싼 집을 제외한 세 집의 가격을 최저 가격인
$55,000이라 가정하면 네 집의 가격은 4×$55,000 = $220,000. 다시 $300,00에서 $220,000을
빼면 가장 비싼 집의 최대값 $80,000을 구할 수 있습니다. 따라서 마지막 집은 $80,000을
절대로 넘어서는 안됩니다.

(E) It cannot be determined from the information given.

쉽지만 한 번 풀어보는 것이 좋은 문제네요.

일단 d 와 e 가 둘 다 0도(최소값, 실제 최소값은 0이 될 수 없지만 다만 식을 위해
0이라고 가정함)일 때를 오른쪽 식에 (a + b + c) + d + e = 5 x 에 대입하면 a+b+c <
5 x 을 유도할 수 있습니다. 즉 a + b + c 의 범위는 5 x 보다 작다는 것을 구할 수 있는
셈이네요. 5 x 보다 작으면서 가장 큰 값은 (B)입니다.

28. If x is the average (arithmetic mean) of 5 consecutive even integers, which of the following
must be true?
I. x is an even integer.
II. x is a nonzero integer.
III. x is a multiple of 5.
(A) I only (B) III only (C) I and II only (D) I and III only
(E) I, II, and III

가장 작은 even integer을 n 이라 하면 x = n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) + (n + 6) + (n + 8) = n + 4

즉 x = n + 4 , 여기서 n 은 항상 짝수이므로 “짝수 + 짝수 = 짝수”이므로 I 은 항상
true입니다. II에서는 n = -4이면 false입니다.

29. The average (arithmetic mean) of 4 positive integers is 50. If the average of 2 of these

(A) 55
(B) 65
(C) 100
(D) 109

4개의 양의 정수의 평균이 50이면 합은 200입니다. 그 중에 두 정수의 평균이 45이므로 이


두 정수의 합은 90이 되네요. 전체 합 200에서 90을 빼면 110이 되고 나머지 두 정수
중에서 최대값은 모든 정수가 0이 아닌 정수라 했으므로 나머지 정수가 1인 경우 최대값이
