    Average

    Two classes took the same test. One class of 25 students made an average grade of 82%, the other class of 32 students made an average grade of 75%. The average grade for all students in both classes is approximately:

    ক)
    80%
    খ)
    78%
    গ)
    81.25%
    ঘ)
    76.5%
    ঙ)
    79.75%

    Explanation

    The total number of students = 25 + 32 = 57 We know that, Average = (Sum of all terms)/(total no. of terms) ∵ Students from class I scored at an average of 82, 82 = (Sum of scores of students from class I)/25 ∴ Sum of scores of students from class I = 82 × 25 = 2050 Similarly, ∵ Students from class II scored at an average of 75, 75 = (Sum of scores of students from class II)/32 ∴ Sum of scores of students from class II = 32 × 75 = 2400 ∴Average of all 57 students= (Sum of grades of all 57 students)/(total number of students) ⇒ Average =  2050  +  240057=445057= \;\frac{{2050{\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;}}2400}}{{57}} = \frac{{4450}}{{57}} ⇒ Average = 78.07 ≈ 78 ∴ Average % of all students is approximately 78%
