Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps to verify if each group of numbers has an average of 8:

  • Calculate the average for each group of numbers provided in the answer choices.

Let's calculate:

  • Choice 1: 10,8,12,2 10, 8, 12, 2
    Sum = 10+8+12+2=32 10 + 8 + 12 + 2 = 32
    Count = 4
    Average = 324=8 \frac{32}{4} = 8
  • Choice 2: 24,0,0 24, 0, 0
    Sum = 24+0+0=24 24 + 0 + 0 = 24
    Count = 3
    Average = 243=8 \frac{24}{3} = 8
  • Choice 3: 8,8,8 8, 8, 8
    Sum = 8+8+8=24 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
    Count = 3
    Average = 243=8 \frac{24}{3} = 8

Therefore, all choices result in an average of 8.

This verifies that All answers are correct.
