Correct Answer: 64.1
Solution : Average marks of 50 students = 65. Total marks of the students = 50 × 65 = 3250 Difference by the wrong entry = 83 – 38 = 45 So, the actual total marks of the students = 3250 – 45 = 3205 Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Total no. of observations}}$ Average marks of 50 students $=\frac{3205}{50}$ = 64.1 Hence, the correct answer is 64.1.
