Answer 2

Correct question is :

If the mean of 6, 4, 7, 13 and p is 8 then find the value of p

Answer:

The value of p is 10

Solution:

The mean of data set is given as:

$Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$

Here, data set is 6, 4, 7, 13 and p

Total number of observations = 5

Sum of all observations = 6 + 4 + 7 + 13 + p

Sum of all observations = 30 + p

Mean = 8

Therefore,

$8 = \frac{30+p}{5}\\\\30 + p = 8 \times 5\\\\30+p = 40\\\\p = 40-30\\\\p = 10$

Thus value of p is 10
