Consider two data sets. Set A: n = 5; x = 10 Set B: n = 50; x = 10 (a) Suppose the number 39 is included as an additional data value in Set A. Compute x for the new data set. Hint: x = nx. To compute x for the new data set, add 39 to x of the original data set and divide by 6. (b) Suppose the number 39 is included as an additional data value in Set B. Compute x for the new data set. (c) Why does the addition of the number 39 to each data set change the mean for Set A more than it does for Set B?

Answer:

a) mean = 14.83

b) mean 10.56

c)  set B has a larger values of data set than A. Hence to determine  the mean value of B we divide the total sum of  by a larger number than for A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

set A,

n = 5

x =10

set B

n = 50

x = 10

a) when 39 is addded in set A. So mean value is

[tex]mean = \frac{((5\times 10)+39)}{6}[/tex]

    mean = 14.83

b).   when 39 is added in set B. So mean value is

 [tex] mean = \frac{((50\times 10)+39)}{51}[/tex]

mean = = 10.56

c).  set B has a larger values of data set than A. Hence to determine  the mean value of B we divide the total sum of  by a larger number than for A.

The new mean values of the datasets are :

  • SET A = 14.833
  • SET B = 10.567

THE sample size of set B is larger than the sample size of set A, hence the addition of the same value to each set will have lesser effect on the mean value of the larger dataset due to larger sample size

Given the data sets :

SET A :

SET A : x = 10 ; n = 5

SET B :

SET B :x = 10 ; n = 50

Mean = ΣX/ n

ΣX = mean × n

n = sample size

Adding 39 to preexisting data and then calculate the new mean :

SET A :

ΣX = mean × n

ΣX = 10 × 5 = 50

New mean of set A :

After adding a new data POINT 39 , Sample size, n = 5 + 1 = 6

New Mean of SET A = (50 + 39) / 6 = 89 / 6 = 14.833

SET B :

ΣX = mean × n

ΣX = 10 × 50 = 500

New mean of Set B :

After adding a new data POINT 39 , Sample size, n = 50 + 1 = 51

New mean of set B = (500 + 39) / 6 = 539/51 = 10.567

THE addition of 39 to each dataset changes the mean value of SET A more than that of SET B because the sample size of set B is much larger Than that of set A.
