What is the missing data if the mean is 60, the mode 52 and the range 28 in the following data set ---,52,---,---,72,78.
\n" ); document.write( "=======
\n" ); document.write( "If the range is 28 the minimum element must be 78-28 = 50
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "If the mode is 52, one of the missing elements must be 52
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let the other missing element be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "===
\n" ); document.write( "Using mean = 60 solve:
\n" ); document.write( "(50 + x + 52 + 52 + 72 + 78)/6 = 60
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 304) = 360
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 56
\n" ); document.write( "====================
