Which of the following is correct? (i) Mean of the data can be smaller than the smallest number of the data. (ii) Mean of the data can be bigger than the largest number of the data.
Assertion (A) : Mean of the data is always from the given data. Reason (R) : Mean $=\frac{\text { sum of observations }}{\text { no. of observations }}$
A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
