Question

If the mean of m, n, s, P and q is 12.
Calauate the mean of (m + 4), (n-3),(s+6)
(p-2) and (q+8).
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Mean = Σx/n

or 12= (m+n+s+p+q)/5

or, m+n+s+p+q = 60 ...........(i)

Again,

New Mean = (m+4+n-3+s+6+p-2+q+8)/5 [∵ n = 5]

or, New Mean = {(m+n+s+p+q)+13}/5

or, New Mean = (60+13)/5 = 73/5 [from eq (i)]

∴ New Mean = 14.6 Ans.
