Answer:
Since, mean of 200 items was 50 and number of items =200
So, mean =50
Also, we know mean = number of itemssum of items
∴50=200sum of items
Sum of items = 200×50=10000
Later on, it was discovered that the two items were misread as 92 and 8 instead of 192 and 88 respectively
Then misread instead Correct item
92 192 192-92=100
8 88 88-8=80
∴ Correct sum of items =10000+180=10180
∴ Correct mean = number of items/sum of items
=10180/200 =50.9
