Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 7 Given: Data = (1, 5, 9, 2, 2, 3, x, a, 9) Arithmetic mean = 5 Formula Used: Arithmetic mean = Sum of terms/Number of terms Calculations: Number of terms = 9 Sum of terms = 1 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 3 + x + a + 9 ⇒ Sum of terms = 31 + a + x Arithmetic mean = Sum of terms/Number of terms ⇒ 5 = (31 + a + x)/9 ⇒ (31 + a + x) = 5 × 9 ⇒ (31 + a + x) = 45 ⇒ a + x = 45 - 31 = 14 Arithmetic mean of a and x = (a + x)/2 ⇒ Arithmetic mean of a and x = 14/2 ⇒ Arithmetic mean of a and x = 7 ∴ The arithmetic mean of a and x is 7. |
