Solution

40.4

Explanation:

We have,

Mean of 100 observations is 40.

Total sum of observations = 100 × 40 = 4000

If the 9th observation is 30 and is replaced by 70 keeping all other observations same.

New, total sum of observations = 4000 - 30 + 70 = 4040

So, the new mean = `4040/100` = 40.4
