Solution
Here, n = 10, `bar"X"` = 1445.
So `bar"X" = (1)/"n"(sumx_i)`
⇒ `"n"bar"X" = sumx_i`
⇒ 10 x 1445 = `sumx_i`
⇒ `sumx_i` = 14450.
So, total monthly salary of 10 persons is of ₹14450.
Monthly salary of one more person who joined the group is ₹1,500.
∴ Total monthly salary of 11 persons
= ₹14,450 + Rs. 1,500
= ₹15,950
So, average monthly salary of 11 persons
= `"Total monthly salary"/(11)`
= `(15950)/(11)`
= ₹1,450.

i.e., if each observation is divided by a non-zero number, then the mean is also divided by it.
