Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

There are \(2n\) abservations \({{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_{2n}}}\) So, maen \( = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{2n}}} \) Let these observations be divided into two parts \({{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_n}}\) and \({x_{n + 1}},......{x_{2n}}\) Each in \({1^{st}}\) part \(5\) is…
