The average of 50 number is 36. If two numbers, namely 63 and 65 are discarded, the average of the remaining numbers is (Correct to two decimal places)
34.83
Average Calculation: Initial Sum
The initial average of 50 numbers is given as 36.
The sum of these 50 numbers can be calculated as:
Sum = Average × Number of items
Sum = $50 \times 36 = 1800$
Sum After Discarding Numbers
Two numbers, 63 and 65, are discarded. The sum of these two numbers is:
Sum of discarded numbers = $63 + 65 = 128$
The new sum after discarding these numbers is:
New Sum = Initial Sum - Sum of discarded numbers
New Sum = $1800 - 128 = 1672$
Average of Remaining Numbers
After discarding two numbers, the total count of numbers becomes:
New Count = Initial Count - Number of discarded items
New Count = $50 - 2 = 48$
The average of the remaining 48 numbers is calculated as:
New Average = New Sum / New Count
New Average = $\frac{1672}{48}$
New Average $\approx 34.8333...$
Rounding to two decimal places, the new average is 34.83.
