The average weight of 25 boys was calculated to be 78.4 kg78.4 \mathrm{~kg}. It was later discovered that one weight was misread as 69 kg69 \mathrm{~kg} instead of 96 kg96 \mathrm{~kg}. The correct average is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
79.48 kg79.48 \mathrm{~kg}
Option B (79.48 kg) is correct because it represents the corrected average weight after accounting for the misread weight.

The mean of nn observations is xˉ\bar x. If one observation xn+1{x_{n + 1}} is added, then the mean remains same. The value of xn+1{x_{n + 1}} is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
xˉ\bar x
Option D (xˉ\bar x) is correct because if adding a new observation doesn't change the mean, the new observation must be equal to the original mean.
