Best Answer

Let's have a simple example.

If the elements of a set are 3, 8, 11, x, and 32, and their mean is 15, find the value of x.

Solution

mean = the sum of all the element values/the total number of elements

15 = (3 + 8 + 11 + x + 32)/5
15 = (54 + x)/5 multiply both sides by 5
75 = 54 + x subtract 54 from both sides
21 = x

Thus, the missing number is 21.
