The mean of 10 items was 70. Later on it was found that an item 92 was misread as 29. What was the correct mean?
Since,
Mean of 200 items = 50
No.ofitems
sum of 200 items = mean
sum of 200 items = mean of x no of items
50×200=10,000
wrong sum of 200 items = 10,000
Correct sum = 10,000+192+88-92-8
= 10,280-100
=10,180∴ correct mean = 200
10,180 = 50.9
