Correct Answer

A

Explanation

E x = (2-t) + (4+t) + (3-2t) +(2+t) + (t-1) = 10n = 10Hence, mean, x = Ex /nn = 10/5 = 2To find the mean of the numbers 2-t, 4+t, 3-2t, 2+t, and t-1, you add them all together and then divide by the total number of values.Mean = (2-t + 4+t + 3-2t + 2+t + t-1) / 5Simplify the expression:Mean = (2 + 4 + 3 + 2 - 1) / 5    = 10 / 5    = 2Therefore, the mean of the given numbers is 2.
