Correct mean
Question: For a set of 10 observation, the mean came out to be 22.5. later on
checking it is discovered that an observation 19 was incorrectly recorded whereas
the correct value is 15. calculate the correct mean from these information:
• Data: • Corrected mean:
• n=10, Data:
n= 10,
• 22.5 x 10
• 225 • = 221/10
• = 22.1
• 225 – 19 + 15
• 221
Question: The mean of the data of 25 values is 58. At the time
checking, it was found that the value of 35 has been wrongly entered
as 53. Find the correct value of mean of the data
• Data; Corrected mean:
• n=25, 58 n=25, = 1432

= 1432/25
= 57.28
• 25 x 58

• – 53 + 35

• n= 10
Question: For a set of 15 observation, the mean came out to be 12. Later on
checking it is discovered that the observation of 20 was incorrectly recorded where
the correct value is 02. Find the correct mean of the data.

• Solution:
• n=15, 12 Corrected mean:
• n=15, 162

= 162/15
• 12 x 15 = 10.8
• 180
• 180 –20 + 2
