Detailed Solution

The median of the given data is x and it is given that the median is 18. Therefore, x = 18. Let X be the mean. It is given that the mean deviation about mean is 7.6 and mean is less than the median i.e. X < 18.

 X¯=4+10+18+y+275

and (X¯4)+(X¯10)+(18X¯)+(yX¯)+(27X¯)5=7.6

  5X¯y=59 and, yX¯=7  X¯=16.5
