The following data is from a simple random sample :

15,23,x,37,19,3215,23, x, 37,19,32

If the point estimate of the population mean is 2323, then the value of xx is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Sample Mean=Sum of all observationsNumber of observations\text{Sample Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}

For our data:

23=15+23+x+37+19+32623 = \frac{15 + 23 + x + 37 + 19 + 32}{6}

23=126+x623 = \frac{126 + x}{6}

23×6=126+x23 \times 6 = 126 + x

138=126+x138 = 126 + x

x=138−126=12x = 138 - 126 = 12

Therefore, the value of x=12x = 12.
