The mean monthly income of 10 persons is $8670$. If a new member with a monthly income of $9000$ jons the group, find the new monthly income

In the question it is given that,

The mean monthly income of 10 persons is $8670$

Where n is  the number of persons,

$n=10$

as we  know that,

$\bar{x}=(x1+x2+…+xn)/n$

$8,670=\sum{xn/10}$

$\sum{xn=8,670*10}$

$\sum{xn=86,700}$

Also in question it is  given that, a new member with a monthly income of ₹ 9,000.

So, $\sum {{X}_{n}}=\left( 86,700+9,000 \right)$

$\sum {{X}_{n}}=95,700$

Then, $n=11$

$\bar{x}=\left( {{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}}+…{{x}_{n}} \right)/n$

$\bar{x}=95,700/11$

$\bar{x}=8700$

Therefore, $8700$ is monthly income of the new member.
