Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of students is more in afternoon class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average marks for the two classes combined = 84

  • Average marks for the morning class, avg1 = 80
  • Average marks for afternoon class, avg2 = 86

The final average marks would be shifted more towards the average marks of the class with more number of students.

This is because the formula for final mean is

                                = [tex]\frac{avg1 \times number of morning students + avg2 \times number of afternoon students}{total number of students}[/tex]

Since final mean 84 is closer to average of class 2 which is 86, hence the number of students is more in afternoon class.
