Question

Find the value of 'p' if the mean of the following data is 17.

\begin{matrix} x_{i} & 10 & p & 18 & 21 & 25 f_{i} & 10 & 15 & 7 & 9 & 9 \end{matrix}

Options:

A . 12

B . 14

C . 16

D . 18

Answer: Option B
:
B
Average or mean value of a given number of observations is the sum of all the observations divided by the total number of observations.

\begin{matrix} x_{i} & 10 & p & 18 & 21 & 25 f_{i} & 10 & 15 & 7 & 9 & 9 x_{i} f_{i} & 100 & 15 p & 126 & 189 & 225 \end{matrix}

Mean

= \frac{\sum x_{i} f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}

\sum x_{i}

f_{i}

= 100 + 15p + 126 + 189 + 225
= 640 + 15p

\sum f_{i}

= 50
given that mean = 17

\Rightarrow

640 + 15p = 50 x 17

\Rightarrow

15p = 210

\Rightarrow

p = 14
