EMNA Q.44

0. Which of the following statements is/are true?
I.  Average of a set of values will always lie between lowest and the largest of these values.
II. If each of the values in a set is increased by a constant k, then new average of the set is increased by k.
III. If each of the values in a set is multiplied by a constant m, then new average will also be `m' times the old average
Codes

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : I. Average of a set of numbers is greater than smallest and smaller than the greatest number of the set. Thus, I is true.

    II. Consider five numbers a, b, c, d and e whose average is (a+b+c+d+e) / 5 Now if each of them is increased by k, then we have average =a+k+b+k+c+k+d+k+e+k 5 =a+b+c+d+e + 5k = old average +k. 5 5 Thus, II is true

    III. Consider three numbers x,y and z whise average is (x+y+z) /3 Now each of them is multiplies by m then new average =(xm +ym+zm) / 3 = m((x+y+x)/3) = 3x odd average Thus III is true.
