In a class of 25 students, 24 of them took an exam in class and 1 student took a make-up exam the following day. The professor graded the first batch of 24 exams and found an average score of 74 points with a standard deviation of 8.9 points. The student who took the make-up the following day scored 64 points on the exam. what is the new average

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  value is   [tex]\mu_n  =  73.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The total number of students is  [tex]N =  25[/tex]

    The  number of student that took exam in class is  n  = 24

    The number that took make up exam is  k  =  1

     The  average score of the first 24 students is  [tex]\mu  =  74[/tex]

       The  standard deviation is [tex]\sigma  =  8.9[/tex]

      The  average score of the student who took make up test is [tex]\= x  =  64[/tex]

Generally the new average is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\mu_n  =  \frac{( n * \mu ) +  \= x }{N}[/tex]

      [tex]\mu_n  =  \frac{( 24 * 74 ) +  64 }{25}[/tex]

       [tex]\mu_n  =  73.6[/tex]
