Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{20}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given observation are \(x_1, x_2, x_3 \ldots \ldots x_n\). \[ \bar{x}=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+\ldots . .+x_n}{n} \] New \(\bar{x}=\frac{1}{n}\left[\frac{2 x_1+5}{3}+\frac{2 x_2+5}{3}+\ldots . .+\frac{2 x_n+5}{3}\right]\) New…
