We can use the formula for calculating the mean:
(mean) = (sum of all values) / (number of values)
Substituting the given values:
34 = (24 + 28 + 30 + 50 + 54 + x) / 6
Multiplying both sides by 6:
204 = 24 + 28 + 30 + 50 + 54 + x
Combining like terms:
204 = 186 + x
Subtracting 186 from both sides:
18 = x
Therefore, the value of x in the dataset is 18.
What is the value of x in the dataset if the mean of the dataset is 34?
24, 28, 30, 50, 54, x
