Question

State True or False: The average of n numbers is x̄. If the sum of first (n−1) numbers is K, then nth number is (n−1) x̄ + K.

WBBSE Class X Mathematics Statistics 01 Mark 2024

Answer

False

Explanation:

Average of n numbers = x̄

⇒ Total sum of n numbers = n × x̄.

Sum of first (n−1) numbers = K.

Therefore, nth number = (Total sum) − (Sum of first (n−1)).

= (n × x̄) − K.
