Question

If each data is increased by a constant K then find it's mean ?? answer fast pleaseeeeeeeeeee​

Answer 1

The mean is also increased by the constant k.

Explanation:

Suppose that we have the set of N elements

{x₁, x₂, x₃, ..., xₙ}

The mean of this set is:

M = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + ... + xₙ)/N

Now if we increase each element of our set by a constant K, then our new set is:

{ (x₁ + k), (x₂ + k), ..., (xₙ + k)}

The mean of this set is:

M' = ( (x₁ + k) + (x₂ + k) + ... + (xₙ + k))/N

M' = (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ + N*k)/N

We can rewrite this as:

M' = (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ)/N + (k*N)/N

and (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ)/N was the original mean, then:

M' = M + (k*N)/N

M' = M + k

Then if we increase all the elements by a constant k, the mean is also increased by the same constant k.
