NDA 2025 · PYQ · Statistics / Mean transformation · easy
The arithmetic mean of 100 observations is 50. If 5 is subtracted from each observation and then divided by 20, then what is the new arithmetic mean?
- A.2.25✓ Correct
- B.3.5
- C.4.25
- D.5.5
If each observation x is transformed to (x - 5)/20, the new mean becomes (Mean - 5)/20. Substituting Mean = 50: new mean = (50 - 5)/20 = 45/20 = 2.25.
