Answer 1

heya...

Average = Sum of terms/ total no.of terms

here..
A= 14+17+29+x+0/5
36=60+x/5
36×5=60+x
180=60+x
x=120

hope it's helpful....

Answer 2

Given Mean = 36.

Total number of observations are : 5.

Sum of observations = 14 + 17 + 29 + x + 0

                                   = 60 + x

Now,

∴ Mean = Sum of observations/Total number of observations

⇒ 36 = (60 + x)/5

⇒ 180 = 60 + x

⇒ 120 = x.

Therefore, the value of x = 120.

Hope it helps!
