CAN YOU HELP Moi?

mathslover (mathslover):

Well, I tried to do it with calculator. Found mean for the original data given: terms being 6,8, 12,15,18,20,20,20,26,28,29,30,31,32,32,34 Adding these all, I get : 361 Now divide this with total terms : 16 So, mean = 361/16 = 22.5625 = 22.6 (approx.) Now, if we add 30 to the data : we have : Total sum = 361 + 30 = 391 No. of terms = 17 mean = 391/ 17 = 23

mathslover (mathslover):

So, mean has increased by 0.4

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay

OpenStudy (bohotness):

OpenStudy (bohotness):

OpenStudy (bohotness):

k

mathslover (mathslover):

Earlier the median was 1/2 (8th + 9th terms) = 1/2 (20 + 26) = 23 Later the median is 9th term ... which is 26 So, it is increased by 3.

OpenStudy (bohotness):
