The mean age of 25 teachers in a school is 40 years. A teacher retires at the age of 60 years and a new teacher is appointed in his place. If the mean age of the teachers in this school now is 39 years, then the age (in years) of the newly appointed teacher is _________.
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Mean $\left( {\overline x } \right)$ = ${{{x_1} + {x_2}..... + {x_n}} \over n}$ = ${{\sum x } \over n}$
After retireing of a 60 year old teacher, total age of 24 teachers,
x1 + x2 + . . . . . .x24 = 1000 $-$ 60 = 940
Now a new teacher of age A year is appointed.
$\therefore$ Now total age of this 25 teachers
x1 + x2 + x3 + . . . . . + x25 = 940 + A
$\therefore$ Mean age = ${{940 + A} \over {25}}$
According to question,
${{940 + A} \over {25}}$ = 39
$ \Rightarrow $ A = 35

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Let observations are

Here mean = 20 and standard deviation(S.D) = 2
When each of these 10
observations is multiplied by p then new observations are
px1, px2, ....., px10 and new mean = 20p and new standard deviation(S.D) = 2|p|
Now when Reduced by q then new observations are
px1 - q, px2 - q, ....., px10 - q
and new mean = 20p - q and new standard deviation(S.D) = 2|p|
Given 20p - q = ${{20} \over 2}$ = 10
and 2|p| = ${2 \over 2}$ = 1
$ \Rightarrow $ p = $ \pm $ ${1 \over 2}$
If p = ${1 \over 2}$ then q = 0 (not possible as given q $ \ne $ 0)
If p = - ${1 \over 2}$ then q = -20
