Best Answer

A little bit of basic algebra, and knowing the definition of a mean, helps. Example for three numbers:

Average of 6, 8, and x is 10.

By the definition of average, solve the equation: (6 + 8 + x) / 3 = 10.

(6 + 8 + x) / 3 = 10

6 + 8 + x = 30

14 + x = 30

x = 16

How do you find the missing number in a data set if there is no mean?

If there is no mean it is very rare that you will be able to find a missing number. Potentially if you have other numbers and you have a mode you can deduce the missing number by using the mode (if there needs to be one more of a certain number or a certain number cannot be increased in its count of numbers i.e. you can't have more 6's to maintain the current mode).
