Question

If the average of five consecutive odd numbers p, q,r, s , t is 75 find the value of of p
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

Average of 5 consecutive odd number = 75

Formula:

Average = Sum of all observations/Total number of all observations

Calculation:

Sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers = 75 × 5 = 375

Average of 6 numbers = 76

Sum of all 6 numbers = 76 × 6 = 456

Let the 6th number be x

According to the question

x + 375 = 456

⇒ x = 456 - 375

⇒ x = 81

∴ The 6th number is 81
