ANSWER

Mean=20

Total numbers=10

Total sum=200

If 5 is decreased from all numbers

mean subtracting (10×5) from 200 make total sum=200−50=150

New Mean=

10

150

=15

Hence New Mean =15

Answer 2

Answer:

mean of 15 number = 25

sum of 15 number = 15 × 25

= 375

sum of 15 number by subtracting 4 from every number equals 15× 4 = 60

then remaining sum = 375 - 60

= 315.

new mean = new sum ÷ total number

= 315 ÷ 15

= 21.

and 21 is the answer.
