    Question

    The mean and median of 7 observations are 10 and 9, respectively. If 1 is subtracted from each observation, then the new mean and the new median will respectively be:

    A.

    7 and 6

    B.

    8 and 9

    C.

    9 and 8

    D.

    4 and 3

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Mean of 7 observations = 10

    Median of 7 observations = 9

    1 is subtracted from each observation.

    We are to find the new mean and median after subtracting 1 from each observation.

    Solution:
    The new mean will be:

    New Mean = Old Mean – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9

    The new median will be:

    New Median = Old Median – 1 = 9 – 1 = 8
    The new mean is 9 and the new median is 8.
