Q. Look at this set of 8 numbers:20,75,37,22,69,67,23,95How would the mean change if the number 35 replaced the number 75 in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Calculate Sum: Calculate the sum of the original set of numbers: 20+75+37+22+69+67+23+95=408
Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean of the original set:Mean = Number of elementsTotal sum = 8408 = 51
Replace and Recalculate Sum: Replace the number 75 with 35 in the set and calculate the new sum: New sum = 408−75+35=368
Calculate New Mean: Calculate the mean of the new set:New mean = New sum / Number of elements = 8368=46
