No of the students in section A=40 No of the students in section B=44 The average weight of section A=35kg Average weight of section B=37kg
Average =
Sum of Observations
Total number of Observations
Using the above formula, we get Weight of Section A=40×35=1400 Weight of Section B=44×37=1628 Total weight =1400+1628=3028 Now, the average weight of the whole class ⇒ Average = Total weight ÷ Total number of students ⇒ Average =
3028
(40+44)
⇒ Average =36.04 ∴ The average weight of the whole class is 36.04kg .
