A calculated estimate of the mean capacity of 120 refrigerators stored at a warehouse is 348 litres. The capacities are given in the following table.

Capacity (litres) 160- 200- 320- 400-p
No. refrigerators f 12 28 48 32

A delivery of n new refrigerators, all with capacities between 200 and 320 litres arrives at the warehouse. This causes the mean capacity to decrease by 8 litres. Find the value of n and state what assumptions you are making in your calculations.
