Answer 1

This is the correct answer that you wanted .

Answer 2

Answer:

The remaining two observations are 6 and 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The mean of 6 observation is 15.

Four of the observation are 10, 18, 23 and 9.

The remaining two observation one is four times the other.

To Find:

What are the remaining two observations?

Let us assume:

Let the one observation be x.

Other observation = 4x

Formula used:

Mean = (Sum of observations)/(Number of observations)

Finding the remaining two observations:

According to the question.

⟶ 15 = (10 + 18 + 23 + 9 + x + 4x)/6

Cross multiplication.

⟶ 10 + 18 + 23 + 9 + x + 4x = 15 × 6

⟶ 60 + 5x = 90

⟶ 5x = 90 - 60

⟶ 5x = 30

⟶ x = 30/5

⟶ x = 6

Remaining observations are:

One observation = x = 6

Other observation = 4x = (4 × 6) = 24
