Answer+Step-by-step explanation:
a)
original mean = (2.4+1.6+3.2+0.3+1.5)÷5
= 9÷5
= 1.8
b)
New mean = ((2.4+10)+(1.6+10)+(3.2+10)+(0.3+10)+(1.5+10))÷5
= (12.4) + (11.6) + (13.2) + (10.3) + (11.5)) ÷ 5
= 59÷5
= 11.8
Note:
11.8-10 = 1.8
then
New mean = original mean + 10
c)
Newest mean = ((2×12.4)+(2×11.6)+(2×13.2)+(2×10.3)+(2×11.5))÷5
= ((24.8)+(23.2)+(26.4)+(20.6)+(23))÷5
= 118÷5
=23.6
Note :
Newest mean = 2×(New mean)
= 2×(original mean + 10)
