Q. The mean of a set of numbers is 30. If one more number, 50, is added to the set, what will be the new mean if the original set had 10 numbers?
Show solution
Solution
The original sum of the numbers is 30 * 10 = 300. Adding 50 gives a new sum of 300 + 50 = 350. The new mean is 350 / 11 = 31.82, which rounds to 32.

Q. The mean of five numbers is 20. If one number is removed, the mean of the remaining numbers becomes 18. What is the number that was removed?
Show solution
Solution
Let the sum of the five numbers be S. Then, S/5 = 20, so S = 100. Let the removed number be x. The new sum is S - x, and the new mean is (S - x)/4 = 18. Therefore, 100 - x = 72, which gives x = 28.
