Solution

∴ Sum of observations = Mean × Total number of observations

⇒ sum of 5 observations = 50 × 5 = 250

Total no of observations when One of the observations was removed from the data = 4

⇒ sum of 4 observations = 45 × 4 = 180

So, the observation which was removed = sum of 5 observations − sum of 4 observations

250 − 180

= 70

The observation which was removed is 70.
