What is arithmetic mean?

  • Arithmetic mean refers to the average of a set of numerical values.

[tex]Arithmetic mean = \frac{Sum Of All Terms}{Total Number Of Terms}[/tex]

Given:

  1. Mean weight of 9 people = 79kg = [tex]\frac{Total Weight Of 9 People}{9}[/tex]

=> Total weight of 9 people = 79 [tex]\times[/tex] 9 = 711kg.

Let the weight of 10th person be x.

Then, according to question,

[tex]Mean Weight Of 10 People = \frac{Total Weight Of 10 People}{10}[/tex]

=> [tex]Mean Weight Of 10 People = \frac{711+x}{10} = 79+1=80[/tex]

=> [tex]711+x= 80\times10[/tex]

=> x = 800 - 711 = 89

That is, the 10th person weighs 89kg.
