Question

If the mean of p, p+2,p+4,p+6,p+8 is 24. Find p

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

p+(p+2)+(p+4)+(p+6)+(p+8)/5 = 24

5p + 20 = 120

5p = 100

p = 20

Answer 2

The value of p is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of n numbers is:

$\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum x$

The set of numbers is: {p, p+2, p+4, p+6, p+8}.

The mean of these values is 24.

compute the value of p as follows:

$24=\frac{1}{5}[p+p+2+p+4+p+6+p+8]\\24\times 5=5p+20\\24\times 5=5(p+4)\\24=p+4\\p=20$

Thus, the value of p is 20.
