The number to add to the set of data is 26
How to determine the new number?
The set of data is given as:
11,14,23 and 16
Let the new number be x
So that
Mean = 18
Mean is calculated as:
Mean = Sum/Count
So, we have:
(11 + 14 + 23 + 16 + x)/5 = 18
Multiply by 5
11 + 14 + 23 + 16 + x = 90
Evaluate the like terms
x = 26
Hence, the number to add is 26
