Question

Marks obtained (in mathematics) by 9 students are given below:

60, 67, 52, 76, 50, 51, 74, 45 and 56  

  1. Find the arithmetic mean.
  2. If marks of each student be increased by 4; what will be the new value of arithmetic mean?
Sum

Solution

a. Here, n = 9,

`barx = (x_1 + x_2 + ...... + x_n)/n` 

∴ `barx = (60 + 67 + 52 + 76 + 50 + 51 + 74 + 45 + 56)/9`

= `531/9`

= 59

b. If marks of each student be incresed by 4 then new arithmetic mean will be = 59 + 4 = 63
