The mean weight of 8 numbers is 15, if each number is multiplied by 2, what will be the new mean

Let, 8 numbers be: x1, x2, x3, .......,x8

Now, mean of the above numbers

   

When number is multiplied by 2, then new numbers are: 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, ......., 2x8

Therefore, new mean

Hence, the new mean of 8 numbers will also be doubled i.e., become 30.

 Let the total be x

so x / 8 = 15

x = 120

If each is multiplied by 2 so total is 2x

2 * 120 / 8 = 30

Ans: New means will be 30
