Question

the average of given data is 6, 10,12 , X ,16 is 14. Find the value of X.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$average \: is \: = \frac{sum \: of \: the \: values}{no \: of \: values} = \frac{6 + 10 + 12 + x + 16}{5} = \frac{44 + x}{5} = 14$

$transporting$

$44 + x = 14 \times 5$

$44 + x = 70$

$x = 70 - 44$

$x = 26$

Answer 2

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean or Average = Sum of All Observations / No. of observations

                               

Given mean: 14

Observations: 6, 10, 12, X and 16

Sum of all observations: 6 + 10 + 12 + 16 + X = 44 + X

No. of observations (Including X): 5

14 = (44 + X) / 5

Take 5 to the other side as multiplication (The 5 is for both the terms, 44+X, because that is sum of observations)

70 = 44 + X

X = 26
