Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(14\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+\ldots+x_{16}}{16}=16\) \( \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{16} {{x_i}} = 16 \times 16\) Sum of new observations \( = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{y_i}} = (16 \times 16 - 16) + (3 + 4 + 5) = 252\) Number of observations \(=18\) \(\therefore \) New…
