Question 57

The mean of 25 values was 40. But one value was written as 25 instead of 50. The corrected mean is

Solution

The mean of 25 observations = 40

The sum of 25 observations = 40×25

= 1000

If the observation 50 was wrongly

copied as 25 then

correct observation = 50 - 25

= 25

Sum of correct observations = 1000+25

= 1025

Correct mean = $$\frac{1025}{25}$$

= 41

Therefore ,

Correct mean = 41
