उत्तर
The mean marks of 20 students is 62
Total marks of all students (incorrect) = mean × number of students
= 62 × 20
= 1240
The incorrect mark for one student was 86, but the correct mark is 68. The difference between the incorrect and correct marks is
86 − 68 = 18
Correct total marks = 1240 − 18
= 1222
Correct mean = `"Correct total marks"/"Number of students"`
= `(1222)/20`
= 61.1
