Find the missing value of $p$ for the following distribution whose mean is 12.58.
$x$581012$p$2025
$f$25822742
"



Given:

The mean of the given data is 12.58.

To do:

We have to find the value of $p$.

Solution:

$x$$f$$f \times\ x$
5210
8540
10880
1222264
$p$7$7p$
20480
25250
Total50$524+7p$

We know that,  

Mean$=\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

Therefore,

Mean $12.58=\frac{524+7p}{50}$

$12.58(50)=524+7p$

$629=524+7p$

$7p=629-524$

$p=\frac{105}{7}$

$p=15$

The value of $p$ is $15$.
