Robert ButlerParticipant@rbutlerInclude @rbutler in your post and this person will
be notified via email.This sounds like a homework problem but I’m done with my remote work and I’m not really ready to start back in on my latest book read so…
7 = Xbar1 = the average over 153 days.
Therefore
7 x 153 = the sum of the individual measures for the 153 day period (remember: the sum of individual measures/153 = average = 7)
12 = the desired average over 153 + 94 days
Therefore the sum of individual measures for the remaining 94 days = Xbar2*94
and the grand average which is 12 is expressed as:
[(7 x 153) + (Xbar2 x 94)]/(153+94) = 12
Solving for Xbar2 we get 20.1
