High-Yield Explanation
Mean (Average(e): Is obtained as sum of all values divided by the no. of values Mean = [?]x/n In the given question, = 18.2 kg and n=10 Thus [?]x = 182 Also, weight of one of the boys was wrongly recorded as 2.0 kg that should have been 20 kg True [?]x= 182 + (20- 2.0) = 200 So true Mean =[?]x(true)/n = 200/10 = 20.0 kg.
