Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
According to the question,
Average of 25 observations = 13
Sum of 25 observations = 13 × 25 = 325
One observation entered wrongly 48 instead of 73.
∴ Difference = 73 - 48 = 25 (less)
∴ Actual sum of 25 observation = 325 + 25 = 350
Actual average = $$\frac{350}{25}$$ = 14
Average of 25 observations = 13
Sum of 25 observations = 13 × 25 = 325
One observation entered wrongly 48 instead of 73.
∴ Difference = 73 - 48 = 25 (less)
∴ Actual sum of 25 observation = 325 + 25 = 350
Actual average = $$\frac{350}{25}$$ = 14
