A data set of n observations has mean 2M, while another data set of 2n observations has mean M. What is the mean of the combined data sets ?

  • M

  • 3M2

  • 2M3

  • 4M3


D.

4M3

We know that Mean = Sum of all observation/Total number of observation

It is given that a data of n observation has mean 2M so this can be written as,

2M = Sum of all observationnSum of all observation = 2Mn

While another data set 2n observation has mean M

So,

Sum of all observation = 2Mn

Then the mean of the combined data set of 3n observation will be

x = 2Mn + 2Mnn + 2nx = 4Mn3nx = 4M3
