Answer:

Consider x1, x2, ……. x20 as the given numbers

So we get

Mean = (x1 + x2 + ……. + x20)/20

It is given that mean = 43

(x1 + x2 + ……. + x20)/20 = 43

By cross multiplication

x1 + x2 + ……. + x20 = 860 …… (1)

Take (x1 – 6), (x2 – 6) …… (x20 – 6) as the new numbers

So the mean of new numbers = [(x1 – 6) + (x2 – 6) + …… + (x20 – 6)]/20

From equation (1) we get

[(x1 – 6) + (x2 – 6) + …… + (x20 – 6)]/20 = (860 – 120)/20

On further calculation

[(x1 – 6) + (x2 – 6) + …… + (x20 – 6)]/20 = 740/20

By division

Mean of new numbers = 37

Therefore,

The new mean of numbers is 37.
