It was later found that the height of one of the girls in the class was wrongly written as 144 cm, whereas her actual height was 104 cm. What is the actual average height of the girls in the class? ( rounded off to 2 digits after decimal)-
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
E
Correct sum
= (160 × 35 + 104 - 144) cm
= 5560 cm
∴ Actual average height
= $$\left( {\frac{{5560}}{{35}}} \right)$$ cm
= 158.857 cm $$ \approx $$ 158.86 cm
= (160 × 35 + 104 - 144) cm
= 5560 cm
∴ Actual average height
= $$\left( {\frac{{5560}}{{35}}} \right)$$ cm
= 158.857 cm $$ \approx $$ 158.86 cm
