Properties of Arithmetic Mean
Property 4:
The arithmetic mean is affected by the change of origin and scale i.e., when
a constant is added to or subtracted from each value of a variable or if each
value of a variable is multiplied or divided by a constant, then arithmetic
mean is affected by these changes.
