Problem

Five observations are 2, 4, 6, 8 and x. The standard deviation of the five observations is 222\sqrt{2} and it is known that x>8x>8. (i) Form an equation in x on the basis of the given standard deviation. (ii) Hence find the value of x satisfying the given condition. (iii) Calculate the mean of the five observations after determining x.
