Question

if the mean of 2,3,4,6,x and 8 is 5 find the value of x.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(2+3+4+6+x+8) /6=5

(23+x) /6=5

23+x=30

x=30-23

x=7

Answer 2

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of observations=6

So, mean= Sum of observations÷number of observations

Here, mean=5

That means,

(2+3+4+6+8+x)÷6=5

(2+3+4+6+8+x)=30

23+x=30

x=30-23

x=7

Hope it helps.
