Tips and Ticks Average calculation

N = the number of terms  .

S = the sum of the numbers in the set.

Average = S/N .


For example.

The marks of a student in five subjects are 96, 94, 92, 87, and 81, then what is the average score of the student?.

N = 5.

S = 96 + 94 + 92 + 87 + 81 = 450.

A = 450/5 = 90.


Another type questions .

1). There are 36 boys and 44 girls in a class. The average score of boys is 40 and girls are 35. Then what will be the average mark? .
