Let x be the average weight of all 12 people. Then, the total weight of all 12 is 12x. The 12th person's weight is x + 33, while the first 11 people's average weight is 11x. Thus, 12x = 11x + (x + 33), so solving gives the 12th person's weight.

The total age initially computed is 20 * 15 = 300 years. Adjusting the error, the corrected total becomes 300 - 2 + 22 = 320 years. The correct average is 320 / 20 = 16 years.

If the average age of 14 girls and their teacher is 15 years, their total age is 15 * 15 = 225 years. If the teacher's age is excluded, the average of the 14 girls is 14 years, making their combined age 14 * 14 = 196 years. Therefore, the teacher's age is 225 - 196 = 29 years.

The initial total weight is 20 * 89.4 = 1788 kg. Correcting the misread weight adds 9 kg (87 - 78) to the total, making it 1788 + 9 = 1797 kg. The corrected average is 1797 / 20 = 89.85 kg.

The initial total weight of the class is 20 * (avg + 0.75) = 20 * 0.75 = 15 kg increase over the original total when the 30 kg student is replaced. The new student's weight is 30 + 15 = 45 kg.

The initial total weight of the 48 students is 48 * 36 = 1728 kg. Including the teacher and principal, the average weight becomes 36.76 kg for 50 people, making the total weight 50 * 36.76 = 1838 kg. Thus, the sum of the teacher’s and principal’s weights is 1838 - 1728 = 110 kg.

The total of 25 numbers is 25 * 36 = 900. The sum of the first 13 numbers is 13 * 32 = 416, and the last 13 is 13 * 39 = 507. Overlapping, the 13th number must be 416 + 507 - 900 = 23.

The total age of A, B, C, D, and E is 40 * 5 = 200 years. A and B have a combined age of 35 * 2 = 70 years, while C and D total 42 * 2 = 84 years. Hence, E's age is 200 - 70 - 84 = 46 years.

Initially, the total marks are 40 * 86 = 3440. Removing 5 top students leaves 35 students averaging 85, totalling 35 * 85 = 2975. Hence, the total marks for the 5 top students is 3440 - 2975 = 465, averaging 465 / 5 = 93.

The total weight of the class before the teacher is added is 33 * 47 = 1551 kg. Including the teacher, the average is 49 kg for 34 people, making the new total 34 * 49 = 1666 kg. Hence, the teacher's weight is 1666 - 1551 = 115 kg.
