find the value of P​

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers:

10 , 12 , 16 , 20 , P and 26

Mean:

17

Mean formula : (Sum of observations)/(no. of observations)

Mean = (10 + 16 + 20 +P + 26)/5

Mean = (72+P)/5

Given Mean = 17

17= (72+P)/5

Transpose 5 to L.H.S

17 x 5 = 72 + P

85 = 72 + P

Transpose 72 to L.H.S

85 - 72 = P

13 = P

∴ The value of P is 13
