8. Sequences and Series
medium
The $A.M.$ of a $50$ set of numbers is $38$. If two numbers of the set, namely $55$ and $45$ are discarded, the $A.M.$ of the remaining set of numbers is
A
$38.5$
B
$37.5$
C
$36.5$
D
$36$
Solution
(b) Given, $\frac{{\Sigma {x_i}}}{{50}} = 38,\,\,\,\therefore \Sigma {x_i} = 1900$
New value of $\Sigma {x_i} = 1900 – 55 – 45$$ = 1800$, $n = 48$
New mean $ = \frac{{1800}}{{48}}$$ = 37.5$.
