Question

In a set of 2 n distinct observations, each of the observation below the median of all the observations is increased by 5 and each of the remaining observations is decreased by 3 . Then, the mean of the new set of observations :

TestHub · Accepted Answer

New mean = n Σ x i + 5n + n Σ y i - 3n 2n = n Σ x i + n Σ y i 2n + 2n 2n = old mean + 2n 2n = old mean + 1
