The mean of a series $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ is $\bar{X}$. If $x_2$ is replaced by $\lambda$,what will be the new mean?

  • A
    $\frac{\bar{X} - x_2 + \lambda}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{n\bar{X} + x_2 - \lambda}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n - 1)\bar{X} + \lambda}{n}$
  • D
    $\frac{n\bar{X} - x_2 + \lambda}{n}$
