Question

Arithmetic mean of 10 observations was found to be 22. If one more observation 44 was to be added to the data, what would be the new mean?

Sum

Solution

Arithmetic mean of 10 observation is 22

Arithmetic mean = `"Sum of all observations"/"Number of observations"`

22 = `"Sum of 10 observations"/10`

Sum of 10 observations = 22 × 10 = 220

Now if new number is added, then

Mean of 11 observations = `("Sum of 10 observation" + 44")/11`

= `(220 + 44)/11`

= `264/11`

= 24

New mean = 24
