T. value=100*50=5000 Observation increased =150-50=100 New value= 5000+100=5100 New mean=5100/100=51 Alternate method Increase in observed value =150-50=100 Mean of new observed= 100/100=1 So new mean = 50+1=51

The total mean of 100 observations = 100X50 = 5000 Add correct obs and minus wrong obs from total i.e. 5000-50+150= 5100 new mean= 5100/50= 102
