Oh, dude, like, when you're talking about the origin and scale in arithmetic mean, you're basically just messing with the values of the data points. The origin is where your data starts, and the scale is how much you're stretching or squeezing those values. So, if you change the origin or scale, it's gonna totally mess with your arithmetic mean because you're basically playing around with the numbers. But hey, it's all good, just plug those numbers into the formula and you'll be fine.

Suppose a set of observations for a variable X has a mean mx.If a scale factor of a is applied to the observations, and the origin is shifted to the left by a distance b, then the new mean will be (m/a)*x + b.
