Q1 of 48 Page 126

Mean of 100 observations is 40. The 9th observation is 30. If this is replaced by70 keeping all other observations same, find the new mean.

We know that



Sum of observations = Mean × Total number of observations


Sum of 100 observations = 40×100 = 4000


For new mean, we will subtract 30 and add 70 to the sum.
