The correct Answer is:
To find the combined mean of two samples, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given information - Sample 1: - Size (n1) = 50 - Mean (M1) = 56 - Sample 2: - Size (n2) = 100 - Mean (M2) = 50 ### Step 2: Calculate the sum of the elements for each sample The sum of the elements for each sample can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Sum} = \text{Mean} \times \text{Size} \] For Sample 1: \[ \text{Sum}_1 = M_1 \times n_1 = 56 \times 50 = 2800 \] For Sample 2: \[ \text{Sum}_2 = M_2 \times n_2 = 50 \times 100 = 5000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total sum of both samples Now, we need to find the total sum of both samples: \[ \text{Total Sum} = \text{Sum}_1 + \text{Sum}_2 = 2800 + 5000 = 7800 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total size of the combined samples The total size of the combined samples is: \[ \text{Total Size} = n_1 + n_2 = 50 + 100 = 150 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the combined mean The combined mean can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Combined Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum}}{\text{Total Size}} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \text{Combined Mean} = \frac{7800}{150} = 52 \] ### Final Answer The combined mean of the two samples is **52**. ---
