Question

Find the value of x if the mean of the following data is 9.

12,5,3, 18, 10, 17, 4, 6, 6.
Also, find the range of the data.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

_______________________

Coming to the question ;

Number of observations = 9

Sum of observations

= 12 + 5 + 3 + 18 + 10 + 17 + x + 6 + 6

= 77 + x

Now,

Mean = \frac{Sum \: of \: observations }{Number \: of \: observations }NumberofobservationsSumofobservations

⇒ 9 = \frac{77 + x }{9}977+x

⇒ 9 × 9 = 77 + x

⇒ 81 = 77 + x

⇒ x = 81 - 77

⇒ x = 4

Hence, the value of x = 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi there! _______________________

What is Mean?

The average of a given set of numbers is called the Arithmetic mean, or simply the mean, of the given numbers.

Mean =  _______________________

Coming to the question ;

Number of observations = 9

Sum of observations

= 12 + 5 + 3 + 18 + 10 + 17 + x + 6 + 6

= 77 + x

Now,

Mean = Sum of observations/number of observations

⇒ 9 = 77+x/9

⇒ 9 × 9 = 77 + x

⇒ 81 = 77 + x

⇒ x = 81 - 77

⇒ x = 4

Hence, the value of x = 4.

_______________________

Range : The difference between the largest and the smallest observation is called the range of the data.

Here, largest observation = 18

And, smallest observation = 3

∴ Range = ( 18 - 3 )

⇒ Range = 15.
