Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: $29 \frac{1}{9}$

Solution : Given that:
Average of $18$ integers = $41$
Also, the integer $127$ was copied as $341$ by mistake
we know, Average = $\frac{ ext{Sum of integers}}{ ext{Count of integers}}$
So, $41=\frac{ ext{Sum of integers}}{18}$
⇒ Sum of Integers = $738$
And new sum $= 738+127-341=524$
Hence, the new average $=\frac{524}{18}= 29 \frac{1}{9}$
Hence, the correct answer is $29 \frac{1}{9}$.
