Question

10 girls and 15 boys sit a test.

The mean mark for the boys is 70. The mean mark for the girls is 82.

Work out the mean mark for the whole class.

Answer 1

Answer:Mean mark of whole class= 74.8

Explanation:

Mean = Total marks of student / Number of students

Total marks of boys = Number of boys x Mean mark for boys

=15 x 70=1,050

Total marks of girls = Number of girls x Mean mark for girls

=10 x 82=820

Mean of whole students = Total marks of student / Number of students

= (1,050 + 820)/ (10+15)

=1870/25

=74.8
