  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{1}=100 \quad n=250\) \(\therefore n_{2}=250-100 \Rightarrow n_{2}=150\) \(\bar{x}=\frac{n_{1} \bar{x}_{1}+n_{2} \bar{x}_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}\) \(15.6=\frac{100(15)+(150)\left(\bar{x}_{2}\right)}{250}\) \(\Rightarrow \overline{\mathrm{x}}_{2}=16\)…
