Answer :
So if there are twenty children and 6 have an average age of five, you could say their total age together is 30 years. The others (20-6) have an age of 8.
30+ (20-6)*8 = total age of every child at the library. From there divide by the number of children.
30+ (20-6)*8 = total age of every child at the library. From there divide by the number of children.
Answer:
The average age of the children at the library is 7.1 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Out of 20 children, six of the children have an average age of 5 years,
Thus, the sum of the ages of 6 students = 5 × 6 = 30
( Total sum of observations = Their Average × Total numbers of the observations )
Now, remaining students = 20 - 6 = 14,
Since, the remaining children have an average age of 8 years.
Thus, the sum of the ages of 14 students = 14 × 8 = 112,
Total sum of the ages of 20 students = 30 + 112 = 142
[tex]\text{The average of 20 students}=\frac{\text{Total sum of the ages of 20 students}}{20}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{142}{20}[/tex]
[tex]=7.1\text{ years}[/tex]
