Answer:
Given:
A student obtained the marks 16,50,70,65 and 85 in subjects a, b, c, d and e.
To find:
What would be the average marks?
Solution:
To find the average marks, first, add the given numbers. Then, divide it by a total number of values.
Sum of the given observations:
16+50+70+65 + 8516+50+70+65+85
= 286=286
Now, divide it by a total number of observations:
The total number of observations = 5
= \dfrac{286}{5}=
5
286
= 57.2=57.2
Hence, the average marks = 57.2
