Mean of 9 numbers was found to be 89. Later on it was detected that one number 81 was misread as 18 . Find the correct mean.
Given:
Mean of 9 numbers was found to be 89.
Later on it was detected that one number 81 was misread as 18.
To find: Here we have to find the correct mean.
Solution:
Mean of 9 observations = 89
Sum of 9 observations = 89 $\times$ 9
Sum of 9 observations = 801
Since one observation 81 was misread as 18.
Then,
New sum of observations = 801 $-$ (Wrong observation) $+$ (correct observation)
New sum of observations = 801 $-$ 18 $+$ 81 = 864
The correct mean = $\frac{New\ sum\ observations}{Total number of observations}$
The correct mean = $\frac{864}{9}$
The correct mean = 96
So, the correct mean is 96.
