Average of 8 values is 36. If 4 is subtracted from each of the first three values and 5 is added in the each of the next five values, then what will be the new average ? |
34.325 36.350 38.325 37.625 |
37.625 |
Sum of 8 values = 8 x 36 = 288 New sum when 4 is subtracted from 1st 3 values and 5 is added to next five values = 288 - 4 x 3 + 5 x 5 = 301 New average = \(\frac{301}{8}\) = 37.625 |
