Option 1: 9
Option 2: 16
Option 3: 26
Option 4: 30
Correct Answer: 26
Solution :
Given:
The mean of 9 observations is 16. One more observation is included and the new mean after becomes 17.
Tenth observation = sum of ten observations – sum of nine observations
= (17 × 10) – (16 × 9)
= 170 – 144
= 26
Hence, the correct answer is 26.
