In a class there are 20 boys and the remaining students are girls. The mean weights of the total 50 students is 23 kg. The mean weight of boys is 30.Then find out the mean weight of girls.
Total weight of girls and boys = Mean x no. of students
= 23 x 50 = 1150
Weight of boys = Mean of boys x no. of boys
= 30 x 20 = 600
Weight of girls = Mean of girls x no. of girls
Total weight - Weight of boys = Mean of girls x 30
1150 - 600 = Mean of girls x 30
550 = Mean of girls x 30
\(\therefore\) Mean of girls ≡ 550/30 ≡ 18
Mean of the girls weight ≡ 18
