Answer

Given, observations = x - 5, x - 3, x - 1 and x + 1

Number of observations = 4

By formula,

Mean (M) = Sum of observationsNumber of observation\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}

M=x5+x3+x1+x+14=4x84.M = \dfrac{x - 5 + x - 3 + x - 1 + x + 1}{4}\\[1em] = \dfrac{4x - 8}{4}.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
