Solution
Mean of the given data = `(8 + 12 + 16 + 22 + 10 + 4) /( 6)`
=`(72)/(6)=12`
decreased by 40%
New mean = Original mean - 40% of original mean
⇒ New mean = 12 - 40% of 12
⇒ New mean = 12 - `(40)/(100) xx 12`
⇒ New mean = 12 - `2/5 xx 12`
⇒ New mean = 12 - 0.4 x 12
⇒ New mean = 12 - 4.8
⇒ New mean = 7.2
