Mean = 13
Mean = Sum of observation/Number of observations
13 = Sum/5
Sum = 65
50 was misread as 15
So 65 - 15 = 50
Now including the correct observation,
50 +50 = 100
Correct mean = 100/5 = 20
Mean = Sum of observation/Number of observations
13 = Sum/5
Sum = 65
50 was misread as 15
So 65 - 15 = 50
Now including the correct observation,
50 +50 = 100
Correct mean = 100/5 = 20

mean = sum of observations/ number of observations
13= sum of the observations/5
sum of the observations = 13×5
=65
50 is misread as 15
new sum =65+(50-15)
=65+35
=100
correct mean= 100/5
=20
hope it helps..
