Solution
mean =sum of observations / total num. of obs.
40= sum of observation / 100
4000 = sum of obser.
new mean = sum of obser. +53 -83 /100
new mean=4000-30 / 100
new mean = 39. 7
40= sum of observation / 100
4000 = sum of obser.
new mean = sum of obser. +53 -83 /100
new mean=4000-30 / 100
new mean = 39. 7
