Question

The mean of 19 37 17 x 29 and 15 is 24 find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is 19, 37, 17, x, 29 and 15.

and Mean of the data is 24.

Number of the observations is 6.

∴ Mean = Sum of the observations / Number of the observations ⇒ 24 = ( 19 + 37 + 17 + x + 29 + 15 ) / 6

⇒24 × 6 = 117 + x

⇒144 = 117 + x

⇒ x = 144 - 117 (∵ transposing )

⇒ x = 27 is the answer.
