Solution
Given the mean of 5 numbers is 18
The total sum of 5 numbers
= 18 x 5
= 90
On excluding an observation, the mean of remaining 4 observation is 16
= 16 x 4
= 64
Therefore the sum of the remaining 4 observations
total of 5 observations-total of 4 observations
= 90 - 64
= 26.

If `bar"X"` is the mean of n observations x1, x2, x3,..., xn then the mean of `x_1/"a", x_2/"a", x_3/"a",...,x_"n"/"a" "is" bar"X"/"a"`, where a is an non-zero number.
i.e., if each observation is divided by a non-zero number, then the mean is also divided by it.
