Mean and Standard Deviation of the Data

To find the tenth number, we need to first calculate the mean and standard deviation of the given data.

Mean:
The mean of a set of numbers is the sum of all the numbers divided by the total count.

Let's assume the ten numbers in the data set are a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, and a10.

The sum of the ten numbers can be represented as:
Sum = a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 + a6 + a7 + a8 + a9 + a10

Since the mean is the sum divided by the count, we have:
Mean = Sum / 10

Standard Deviation:
The standard deviation of a set of numbers measures the spread or dispersion of the data. It is calculated by finding the square root of the variance.

The variance can be calculated using the formula:
Variance = [(a1 - Mean)^2 + (a2 - Mean)^2 + (a3 - Mean)^2 + (a4 - Mean)^2 + (a5 - Mean)^2 + (a6 - Mean)^2 + (a7 - Mean)^2 + (a8 - Mean)^2 + (a9 - Mean)^2 + (a10 - Mean)^2] / 10

And the standard deviation is the square root of the variance:
Standard Deviation = √(Variance)

Sum of Squares of 9 Numbers:
The sum of squares of 9 numbers can be represented as:
Sum of Squares = (a1^2 + a2^2 + a3^2 + a4^2 + a5^2 + a6^2 + a7^2 + a8^2 + a9^2)

Given that the sum of squares of 9 numbers is 599, we have:
599 = (a1^2 + a2^2 + a3^2 + a4^2 + a5^2 + a6^2 + a7^2 + a8^2 + a9^2)

Finding the Tenth Number:
To find the tenth number, we can use the sum of squares of 10 numbers.

The sum of squares of 10 numbers can be represented as:
Sum of Squares = (a1^2 + a2^2 + a3^2 + a4^2 + a5^2 + a6^2 + a7^2 + a8^2 + a9^2 + a10^2)

Substituting the given sum of squares of 9 numbers (599), we have:
Sum of Squares = 599 + a10^2

We can rearrange the equation to solve for a10:
a10^2 = Sum of Squares - 599

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
a10 = √(Sum of Squares - 599)

Therefore, the tenth number can be found by taking the square root of the difference between the sum of squares of 10 numbers and 599.
