The correct answer is (b).<\/p>\n

The sum of the observations is $50 \\times 35.2 = 1760$.
\nThe correct sum is $1760 – 48 + 45 = 1767$.
\nThe correct mean is $\\frac{1767}{50} = 35.94$.<\/p>\n

Option (a) is incorrect because it is the mean of the incorrect sum.
\nOption (c) is incorrect because it is the mean of the correct sum plus 1.
\nOption (d) is incorrect because it is the mean of the correct sum plus 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
