Recalculating averages when data is corrected, such as a misread score, is crucial as it ensures accuracy in representation of the dataset. A change in even one datum can significantly affect overall interpretations and decisions based on average calculations, underscoring the sensitivity of averages to individual data points.
The average score for the first three tests is N, and the student exceeds this by 20 points on the fourth test, making the score of the fourth test N + 20. The new average for all four tests would be (3N + N + 20)/4 = (4N + 20)/4 = N + 5.
To determine marks needed in a final group for a target average, calculate initial group totals from their averages, then derive the required marks for the group using total target average and the known results from prior groups. This synthesis involves balancing original group outputs with target expectations across more than one set of data.
The total weight of all 9 persons is 450 kg. The weight of the first 5 persons is 225 kg (5*45), and the last 5 persons is 275 kg (5*55). The 5th person is counted twice; therefore, their weight is calculated as (225 + 275) - 450 = 50 kg. Hence, the 5th person weighs 50 kg.
Total rainfall for six days is 3 inches (6 * 0.5). Rainfall for four days is 1.6 inches (4 * 0.4). Let the fifth day's rainfall be x inches and sixth be (4/3)x. Equation: 1.6 + x + (4/3)x = 3. Solving gives x = 0.60 inches for the fifth day.
To find the value of a, we first use the average formula: (a + b + c) / 3 = 14, which leads to a + b + c = 42. We know that twice the sum of b and c is 30, so 2(b + c) = 30, implying b + c = 15. Substitute b + c = 15 into a + b + c = 42, giving a = 42 - 15 = 27. Therefore, 'a' is 27.
Initially, the total marks of 100 students were 4000. Correcting the misread mark from 83 to 53 reduces the total by 30, giving 3970 marks. The correct average is 3970/100 = 39.7.
The family's initial average was Rs. 10000. If one member's annual increase of Rs. 120000 is evenly distributed across all family members for each month, the monthly increase per person is Rs. 12000/12 = Rs. 1000. This raises the family's average monthly income to Rs. 12000.
Each examination has 500 marks. The student scored 45% and 55% in the first two exams, equating to 225 and 275 marks respectively. To have an overall average of 60% (300 marks per exam) for 1500 total marks, the student needs 900 total marks. They already scored 500, so they need 400 marks in the third exam.
