Mr. Bennet owns 4 restaurants. The mean number of tables is 30. What could happen to the mean if he buys two new restaurants, one with 15 tables and another with 9 tables?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Final mean value = 24.

Mean value decreased by 6 finally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of restaurant initially = 4

Mean number of tables in restaurants = 30

So, total number of tables in restaurants = 4×30 = 120

Now,

He buys 2 new restaurants with 15 tables and 9 tables .

So, final number of tables = 120 + 15 + 9 = 144.

And, final number of restaurants = 4 initially + 2 newly added = 6 restaurants.

Thus , final mean value of tables in restaurants = [tex]\frac{144}{6}[/tex] = 24.

Thus , mean value decreased by 6 finally
