Question

if the average of the given data 6,10,12,x,16is 14, find the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:26

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Average = 14

We know Average = sum of numbers ÷ count of numbers

So Average = ( 6 + 10 + 12 + x + 16 ) ÷ 5 = 14

By rearranging this we can write as 6 + 10 + 12 + x + 16 = 14 × 5 = 70

Again rearranging

x = 70 - (6 + 10 + 12 + 16 )

= 26
