उत्तर
Here, n = 40, `bar"X" = 160`.
So, `bar"X" = (1)/"n"(sumx_i)`
⇒ 160 = `(1)/(40)(sumx_i)`
⇒ `sumx_i` = 160 x 40 = 6400
∴ Incorrect value of `sumx_i = 6400`.
Now, correct value of
`sumx_i` = Incorrect value of `sumx_i` - Incorrect item + Correct item
= 6400 - 125 + 165
= 6440
∴ Correct mean
= `("Correct value of" sumx_i)/"n"`
= `(6440)/(40)`
= 161.
