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( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "=========================== \n" ); document.write( " |
