Practice Test Discussion

Q)

The mean of 10 observations was found to be 28. Later, it was discovered that one observation 14 was misread as 24. Find the correct mean?


  • Explanation

    According to the question

    we know the formula,

    Mean(Avg)=Sum of observations (S)Number of observations (N)

    Given, Mean (Avg) = 28, N= 10

    ⇒ 28=S10= 280

    Later, it was discovered that one observation 14 was misread as 24

    = 24-14= 10

    ∴ The correct mean is

     =S-10N=280-1010=27010=27

    Hence, Option C is correct.
