The mean of 100 bags was found to be 30. What will be the correct mean if at the time of calculation..

Answer / Mr Avesh Kumar Gautam

Calculate the new total: Old total = 100 * 30 = 3000. Add the two incorrect values to this total, subtract the correct values for those bags, and recalculate the mean: New total = 3000 + 32 + 11 - 23 - 11 = 3026. Recalculate the mean: New mean = New total / Number of bags = 3026 / 98 = approximately 31.02.
