The mean of 20 numbers is 43. If 6 is subtracted from each of the numbers, what will be the new mean?
Answer:
Consider x1, x2, ……. x20 as the given numbers
So we get
Mean = (x1 + x2 + ……. + x20)/20
It is given that mean = 43
(x1 + x2 + ……. + x20)/20 = 43
By cross multiplication
x1 + x2 + ……. + x20 = 860 …… (1)
Take (x1 – 6), (x2 – 6) …… (x20 – 6) as the new numbers
So the mean of new numbers = [(x1 – 6) + (x2 – 6) + …… + (x20 – 6)]/20
From equation (1) we get
[(x1 – 6) + (x2 – 6) + …… + (x20 – 6)]/20 = (860 – 120)/20
On further calculation
[(x1 – 6) + (x2 – 6) + …… + (x20 – 6)]/20 = 740/20
By division
Mean of new numbers = 37
Therefore, the new mean of numbers is 37.
