If the sum of the deviations of 50 observations from 30 is 50, then the mean of these observations is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 31
  • B 50
  • C 51
  • D 30

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∑i=150(xi−30)=50\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{50} {\left( {{x_i} - 30} \right) = 50}

∑xi=50×30=50\sum {{x_i}} = 50 \times 30 = 50

∑xi=50+50+30\sum {{x_i}} = 50 + 50 + 30

Mean =x‾=∑xin=50×30+5050= \overline x = {{\sum {{x_i}} } \over n} = {{50 \times 30 + 50} \over {50}}

=30+1=31= 30 + 1 = 31
