Question

The mean of 6 numbers is 17. Four of the numbers are 15, 17, 20, and 22. The remaining two numbers are each equal to x. Calculate the sum of the 06 numbers and the value of x.

Answer 1

Sum of 6 no. = 102

X = 14

Let the unknown no. be X

mean= sum of all no. / no. of terms

17 = 15 + 17 + 20 + 22 + X+ X / 6

17 * 6 = 74 + 2X

102 - 74 = 2X

28 = 2X

28/2 = X

14= X
