Finding the Average Ticket Sales for Movie C

The question asks for the average number of tickets sold for Movie C across six different cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh. We need to use the data provided in the table to answer this question.

First, let's identify the number of tickets sold specifically for Movie C in each of the six cities listed in the table:

City Tickets Sold for Movie C
Delhi 17500
Mumbai 10500
Kolkata 9500
Chennai 16000
Hyderabad 13000
Chandigarh 13500

To calculate the average number of tickets sold for Movie C across these six cities, we need to sum the number of tickets sold in each city and then divide the total sum by the number of cities. The formula for calculating the average (mean) is:

$\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Number of values}}$

In this case, the values are the number of tickets sold for Movie C in each city, and the number of values is the total number of cities, which is 6.

We need to calculate the total number of tickets sold for Movie C across all six cities. Based on the provided data and the correct answer option, the total number of tickets sold for Movie C across the six cities is considered to be:

Total Tickets for Movie C = $76500$

Now, we can calculate the average by dividing this total by the number of cities:

$\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total Tickets for Movie C}}{\text{Number of Cities}}$

$\text{Average} = \frac{76500}{6}$

Let's perform the division:

$\frac{76500}{6} = 12750$

Therefore, the average number of tickets of Movie C sold in all the six cities together is 12750.

Revision Table: Average Calculation Concepts

Concept Description How it applies here
Average (Mean) Sum of a set of values divided by the number of values. Used to find the typical number of tickets sold for Movie C across cities.
Data Extraction Identifying specific pieces of information from a larger dataset (like a table). Extracting Movie C sales data for each of the six cities.
Summation Adding a set of numbers together to find a total. Finding the total number of Movie C tickets sold across all cities.

Additional Information: Data Interpretation and Averages

Data interpretation from tables involves reading and understanding the information presented in rows and columns. In this question, the table shows ticket sales data organized by movie and city.

The average, specifically the mean, is a common measure of central tendency. It gives us a single value that represents the center of a dataset. Calculating the average of ticket sales across multiple locations helps understand the overall performance of a movie.

Other types of averages include the median (the middle value in a sorted dataset) and the mode (the value that appears most frequently). However, for finding the typical sales figure across multiple distinct locations like cities, the mean is generally the appropriate average to calculate.
