1.

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

Answer» `(sum_(x=1)^16 x_i)/16 = 16`
`sum_(i=1)^16 x_i = 256`
`((sum x_i) - 16 + 3 + 4 + 5)/18 = (256 - 16 + 3 + 4 + 5)/18`
`= 252/18= 14`
option 3 is correct
