Question

If the mean of 10, 12, 18, P, 29,17 is 15 the value of P is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean=sum of no. /no.

15=(10+12+18+P+29+17)/6

=>15×6=87+P

=>90-87=P

>3=P

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of P is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of 10, 12, 18, P, 29, 17 is 15

Mean = Sum of observations / Number of observations

15 = $\frac{10 + 12 + 18 + P + 29 + 17\: }{6}$

15 x 6 = 90

$90 \: = \: 86 + P$

$P \: = \: 90 - 86$

$P \: = 4$

Therefore, The value of P is 4.

Mean:

The mean of a set of data is found out by dividing the sum of all the observations by the total number of observations in the set of data.
