Class A has 10 pupils and class B has 18 pupils. Both classes sit the same maths test. The mean score for class A is 34. The mean score for both classes is 55. What is the mean score (rounded to 2 DP) in the maths test for class B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mean score for the class B is 66.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean : It is the sum (total) of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers or measurements, divided by the number of values on the list.

Mean = sum of all numbers/ total numbers

Given,

mean score of class A = 34.

mean score of both the classes = 55

mean score of class a = sum of marks/total strength of class

                              34   = sum of marks/10

                             340 = sum of marks of class A

similarly,  Mean score of both classes

= ( sum of marks of class A and class B)/(total students in both classes)

= (340 + sum of marks of class B)/ 28  

55 =  (340 + sum of marks of class B)/ 28  

55 × 28 =  (340 + sum of marks of class B)

1540 - 340 = sum of marks of students of class B    

     1200    =  sum of marks of students of class B  

now to find Mean score of class B

sum of marks of students of class B / total students in class B

1200/18 = 66.66 answer
