The average of 100 numbers is 46, but it was found that 2 numbers 16 and 43 are mistakenly calculated as 61 and 34. Find his current average if it was also found that total number are only 84. |
54.3 53.9 51.5 49.3 |
54.3 |
Sum of 100 numbers = 46 × 100 = 4600 Increase / decrease in numbers = (16+43) - (61+34) = -36 So the sum would be = 4600 - 36 = 4564 and the numbers are 84 instead of 100 Hence average = \(\frac{4564}{84}\) = 54.3 |
