CBSEENST11024186

Suppose mean of a series of 5 items is 30. Four values are respectively 10, 15,30 and 35. Estimate the missing 5th value of the series.

Solution

Suppose missing 5th item is 5 X.
          __
Hence, X     =  10+15+30+35+5X
                               5
                 =  90 + X
                          5
                  90 + X = 150
                   N =  150-90   = 60
Hence, missing value is 60.
