Calculating Average Girls Enrolled in Universities in 2017

The question asks us to find the average number of girls enrolled in the year 2017 across the three universities A, B, and C. We need to use the data provided in the table.

Year-wise Number of Girls in Different Universities
Year Number of girls in a University
A B C
2015 15,000 10,000 5,000
2016 10,000 17,500 20,000
2017 22,500 12,000 15,000
2018 20,000 25,000 15,000
2019 25,000 20,000 22,500

To find the average number of girls enrolled in 2017 across all three universities, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Identify the number of girls enrolled in each university (A, B, and C) for the year 2017 from the table.
  2. Sum up the number of girls from all three universities for that specific year.
  3. Divide the total sum by the number of universities (which is 3).

Enrollment Data for 2017

From the table, the number of girls enrolled in 2017 are:

  • University A: 22,500
  • University B: 12,000
  • University C: 15,000

Summing the Enrollments

Now, let's calculate the total number of girls enrolled in the three universities in 2017:

\( \text{Total enrollment in 2017} = \text{Enrollment in A} + \text{Enrollment in B} + \text{Enrollment in C} \)

\( \text{Total enrollment in 2017} = 22,500 + 12,000 + 15,000 \)

\( \text{Total enrollment in 2017} = 49,500 \)

Calculating the Average

To find the average, we divide the total enrollment by the number of universities (3):

\( \text{Average enrollment in 2017} = \frac{\text{Total enrollment in 2017}}{\text{Number of universities}} \)

\( \text{Average enrollment in 2017} = \frac{49,500}{3} \)

\( \text{Average enrollment in 2017} = 16,500 \)

Therefore, the average number of girls enrolled in the year 2017 in all the three Universities together is 16,500.

Key Data for 2017 Calculation
Year University Number of Girls
2017 A 22,500
2017 B 12,000
2017 C 15,000
Total (2017) 49,500
Average (2017) 16,500

Additional Information: Understanding Averages

An average is a single number that represents the central value of a set of numbers. It is calculated by summing all the values in the set and then dividing by the count of values in the set.

\( \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Count of values}} \)

In this problem, the values are the number of girls enrolled in each university in 2017, and the count of values is the number of universities (3).

Averages are useful in data analysis to get a quick sense of the typical value within a dataset or to compare different datasets or categories.
