    Question

    The average of 161 EB readings was 154 units. Later on it was found that a reading 165 was wrongly typed as 160. Find the correct average. (Approximately)

    A.

    156.03

    B.

    158.03

    C.

    152.03

    D.

    154.03

    Correct option is D

    Average of 161 readings = 154 units

    Total = 161 × 154
    = 24794

    Wrong reading = 160
    Correct reading = 165

    Correct total
    = 24794 − 160 + 165
    = 24799

    Correct average
    = 24799 / 161
    ≈ 154.03
