    The mean of 7 observations is 7. If each observation is increased by 2, then the new mean is

    A)  12                               

    B)  10     

    C)  9

    D)  8

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given that,                                     Mean of 7 observations = 7                      \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{1}{7}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{7}{{{x}_{i}}=7}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\sum\limits_{i=1}^{7}{{{x}_{i}}=49}\]                                  ?(i) If each observation is increased by 2.    then, new mean \[=\frac{1}{7}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{7}{({{x}_{i}}+2)}\] \[=\frac{1}{7}\left\{ \sum\limits_{i=1}^{7}{{{x}_{i}}+2\times 7} \right\}\] \[=\frac{1}{7}\{49+14\}=\frac{1}{7}\times 63=9\]
