As learnt in

ARITHMETIC Mean -

For the values x1, x2, ....xn of the variant x the arithmetic mean is given by 

\bar{x}= \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+\cdots +x_{n}}{n}

 

In case of discrete data.

-Given that, 45 = \frac{x_{1}+ x_{2}+\cdot \cdot \cdot \ x_{100}}{100}

\therefore x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdot \cdot \ x_{100} = 4500

But two numbers (19+31 = 50) were incorrect

So, net sum = 4500 - 50 = 4450

Add correct numbers (91+13 = 104)

⇒ 4450 +104 = 4554

⇒ new mean = 4554/100 = 45.54
