What is the formula to calculate the correct mean when there is an incorrect observation?
What is the formula to calculate the correct mean when there is an incorrect observation?
- ∑Xcorrect = n∑f - misread observation(s) + correct observation(s)
- ∑Xcorrect = n∑f + misread observation(s) - correct observation(s)
- ∑Xcorrect = ∑Xincorrect + misread observation(s) - correct observation(s)
- ∑Xcorrect = ∑Xincorrect - misread observation(s) + correct observation(s) (correct)
