I want answer as soon as possible.

Dear student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

It is given that fror 'n' obesrevations x1, x2, x3,, xn   i=1n xi-50=-10   and i=1n xi-46=70This implies that,             i=1n xi-50=-10          i=1nxi- i=1n50=-10   Note that,    i=1n50=50+50+50++50n times=50n      i=1nxi-50n=-10      .....1From second relation,             i=1n xi-46=70          i=1nxi- i=1n46=70   Note that,    i=1n46=46+46+46++46n times=46n      i=1nxi-46n=70      .....2Subtracting 1  from 2    i=1nxi-46n- i=1nxi-50n=70--10             i=1nxi-46n-i=1nxi+50n=70+10                                                   4n=80                                                     n=20Put this in 1  to  get,   i=1nxi-5020=-10     i=1nxi-1000=-10                i=1nxi=-10+1000                i=1nxi=990Thus the mean of the observations is,      x=120 i=1nxi=99020=49.5So the correct option is C

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.

Given:
x1 + x2 + .... + xn - 50n = -10
and
x1 + x2 + .... + xn - 46n = 70

Subtracting the two, we have:
-4n = -80
Therefore n = 20.

Since there is only one option with n = 20,
answer is (C) 20, 49.5
