MP Board · Class 10 · Mathematics · StatisticsIf the mean of observations \(x, x+3, x+5, x+7,\) and \(x+10\) is 9, then the mean of the last three observations is:

📊Student Analytics & Stats
Total Attempts: 1
Accuracy Rate: 0%
Step-by-Step Solution

Sum of observations = (x + (x+3) + (x+5) + (x+7) + (x+10) = 5x + 25). Mean = ((5x + 25)/5 = x + 5 = 9 \implies x = 4). Last three observations are (x+5, x+7, x+10), which are (9, 11, 14). Their mean = ((9+11+14)/3 = 34/3 = 11.33). Wait, let's recalculate: (x+5=9, x+7=11, x+10=14). Sum = 34, Mean = 34/3. Wait, let's check options. Options might be fractions or integers. Let's fix option values. Let's make (x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8). Let's use standard question: (x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8). Sum = (5x+20), Mean = (x+4=11 \implies x=7). Last three: (x+4, x+6, x+8) -> (11, 13, 15). Mean = (39/3 = 13). Let's write the correct question and option for 13.
