Question

the mean of 10,12,16,20,p and 26 is 17 find the value of p

Answer 1

the value of p for mean 17 is 18

Answer 2

Answer:

$Value \: of \: p = 18$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \: mean \: of \: 10,12,\\16,20,p\:and\:26\:is\:17$

$Mean = \frac{Sum\:of\:terms}{Number \:of\:terms}$

$\implies Mean = 17$

$\implies \frac{10+12+16+20+p+26}{6}=17$

$\implies \frac{84+p}{6}=17$

$\implies 84+p = 6\times 17$

$\implies p = 102-84$

$\implies p = 18$

Therefore,

$Value \: of \: p = 18$
