The mean weight of 25 students of a class is 52kg. If the mean weight of the first 13 students of the class is 48kg and that of the last 13 students is 55kg, find the weight of the 13th student.
It is given that
Mean weight of 25 students = 52kg
So the total weight = 25 (52) = 1300kg
Mean weight of first 13 students = 48kg
So the total weight = 13 (48) = 624kg
Mean weight of last 13 students = 55kg
So the total weight = 13 (55) = 715kg
We know that
Weight of 13th student = total weight of the first 13 students + total weight of last 13 students – total weight of 25
students
By substituting the values
Weight of 13th student = 624 + 715 – 1300
On further calculation
Weight of 13th student = 39kg
Therefore, the weight of the 13th student is 39kg.
