Question

Let the data $$4$$, $$10$$, x, y, $$27$$ be in increasing order. If the median of the data is $$18$$ and its mean deviation about mean is $$7.6$$, then the mean of this data, is

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

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¯$$=4+10+18+y+275and$$ $$(X$$¯−$$4)+(X$$¯−$$10)+(18$$−X¯$$)+(y$$−X¯$$)+(27$$−X¯$$)5=7.6$$ ⇒ $$5X$$¯−$$y=59$$ and, y−X¯$$=7$$ ⇒ X¯$$=16.5$$

Let the data $4, 10, x, y, 27$ be in increasing order. If the median of the data is $18$ and its mean deviation about mean is $7.6,$ then the mean of this data, is
