Question

if the mean of 6,4,7,p and 10 is 8, find the value of p

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = sum of observations / no. of observations

Mean = 6 + 4 + 7 + p + 10 / 5 = 8

=====> 27 + p / 5 = 8

=====> 27 + p = 8 × 5

=====> 27 + p = 40

=====> p = 40 - 27

=====> p = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = (Sum of given values)÷(No of values given)

So,

(6+4+7+p+10)÷5=8

(27+P)÷5=8

27+p = 5×8

p = 40 - 27

p=13
