Question 55
The average of 11 observations is 10, that of the first 6 being 9 and that of the last 6 being 11. What is the $$6^{th}$$ observation?
Solution
The average of 11 observations is 10.
Sum of 11 observations = $$11\times10$$ = 110 Eq.(i)
Average of the first 6 being 9.
Sum of the first 6 observation = $$6\times9$$ = 54 Eq.(ii)
Average of the last 6 being 11.
Sum of the last 6 observation = $$6\times11$$ = 66 Eq.(iii)
$$6^{th}$$ observation = Eq.(ii)+Eq.(iii)-Eq.(i)
= 54+66-110
= 120-110
= 10
