Expert Answer:
Please check the question:
Question should be:
Find the value of p if the mean of the following distribution is 20.
x
15
17
19
20+p
23
f
2
3
4
5p
6
Solution:
Let us construct the following table:
x
f

15
2
30
17
3
51
19
4
76
20+p
5p

23
6
138
Given that mean is 20
We know that

x | 15 | 17 | 19 | 20+p | 23 |
f | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5p | 6 |
x | f | ![]() |
15 | 2 | 30 |
17 | 3 | 51 |
19 | 4 | 76 |
20+p | 5p | ![]() |
23 | 6 | 138 |
