The mean of the data set comprising of 16 observations is 16. If one of the observation valued 16 is deleted and three new observations valued 3, 4 and 5 are added to the data, then the mean of the resultant data, is : (1) 16.8 (2) 16.0 (3) 15.8 (4) 14.0

A

16.8

B

`16.0`

C

15.8

D

`14.0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(x_(1)+x_(2)+..+x_(16))/(16)=16`
If `x_(i)=16`
`(x_(1)+x_(2)+..+x_(10)-16+3+4+5)/(18)`
`=(16xx10-16+12)/(18)=14`
