Detailed Solution

we know that Arithmetic mean =xN
Given Mean =50
N=100
i.e, 50=x100
∑X=5000
Later found that it is 110
So the 100 items is wrong value correct A.M = [X (wrong) + correct value of observation -Incorrect value of observation]N
correct Mean =[5000+110-100]100
=5110-100100
=5010100
=50.10
 The real or true mean value is 50.10 
Median value is 52
