Question 17.
The mean of marks scored by 100 students was found to be 40, later on it was discovered that a score of 53 was misread as 83. Find the correct mean.
Solution:
Mean of 40 observations = 100
Total sum of 40 observations = 100 × 40 = 4000
Incorrect total of 40 observation is = 4000
Correct total of 40 observations = 4000 – 83 + 53 = 3970
∴ Correct mean = $$\frac { 3970 }{ 100 }$$ = 39.70

Question 18.
The mean of five numbers is 27. If one number is excluded, the mean of remaining numbers is 25. Find the excluded number.
Solution:
Mean of 5 observations = 27
Total sum of 5 observations = 27 × 5 = 135
On excluding an observation, the mean of remaining 6 observations = 25
⇒ Total of remaining 4 observations = 25 x 4 = 100
⇒ Included observation = Total mean of 5 observations – Total mean of 4 observations
= 135- 100 = 35

Question 19.
The mean of 5 numbers is 27. If one new number is included, the new mean is 25. Find the included number.
Solution:
Mean of 5 observations = 27
Total sum of 5 observations = 27 x 5 = 135
On including an observation the mean of 6 observation = 25 x 6 = 150
⇒ Included observations = Total Mean of 6 observations – Total mean of 5 observations = 150- 135 = 15

Question 20.
Mean of 5 numbers is 20 and mean of other 5 numbers is 30. Find the mean of all the 10 numbers taken together.
