Question 72 Marks
The mean weight of $8$ numbers is $15$. If each number is multiplied by $2$, what will be the new mean?
Answer
We have, The mean weight of $8$ numbers is $15$
Then, the sum of $8$ numbers $= 8 \times 15 = 120$
If each number is multiplied by $2$
Then, new mean $= 120 \times 2 = 240$
$\therefore$ new mean $=\frac{240}{8}=30$

Question 132 Marks
If the heights of $5$ persons are $140\ cm, 150\ cm, 152\ cm, 158\ cm$ and $161\ cm$ respectively. Find the mean height.
Answer
Given: The heights of $5$ persons are $140\ cm, 150\ cm, 152\ cm, 158\ cm$ and $161\ cm.$
$\therefore\text{Mean Weight}=\frac{\text{Sum of height}}{\text{Total no. of persons}}$
$=\frac{140+150+152+158+161}{5}$
$=\frac{761}{5}=152.2$
$\text{Mean} = 152.2$
