If the test scores of a class of 34 students have a mean of 73.1 and the test scores of another class of 26 students have a mean of 66.4, then the mean of the combined group is

Respuesta :

Combined mean
= (73.1 * 34 + 66.4 * 26) / (34 + 26)
= (2485.4 + 1726.4) / 60
= 70.2 (rounded)

The Mean of the combined class is 70.19.

Mean

Mean is the average of a set of two or more numbers. The arithmetic and geometric mean are the types of mean that can be calculated.

Mean formula

[tex]\rm Mean = \dfrac{sum\ of\ the\ term}{total\ number\ of\ term}[/tex]

Given

The test scores of a class of 34 students have a mean of 73.1 and

The test scores of another class of 26 students have a mean of 66.4.

To find

The mean of the combined group.

How to get the mean of the combined group?

The sum of the total of the test score = Total number of students x Mean

Class 1 sum will be

The sum of the total test score = 34 x 73.1

The sum of the total test score = 2485.4

Class 2 sum will be

The sum of the total test score = 26 x 66.4

The sum of the total test score = 1726.4

Than Mean for the combine will be

[tex]\rm Mean = \dfrac{sum\ of\ the\ term}{total\ number\ of\ term}\\\\Mean = \dfrac{2485.4+1726.4}{34+26} \\\\Mean = \dfrac{4211.8}{60} \\\\Mean = 70.19[/tex]

Thus the Mean of the combined class is 70.19.
