    The mean of the ages of 20 students is 10 years. 5 students with the mean age of 15 years leave the class. Mean of the ages of the remaining students will be:

    A)  4                                

    B)  5.66

    C)  6.25                           

    D)  8.33

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

         \[N=20,\]\[A.M.=10\] \[A.M.=\frac{\sum{X}}{N};\]\[10=\frac{\sum{X}}{20};\]\[\sum{X}=200\] Now, the students with mean age of 15 years leave the class Sum of observation\[=\sum{{{X}_{1}}}=A{{M}_{1}}\times {{N}_{1}}\] \[A{{M}_{1}}=15,\]\[{{N}_{1}}=5,\] \[\sum{{{X}_{1}}=75}\] Remaining sum\[=\sum{X}-\sum{{{X}_{1}}}\] \[=200-75=125\] Remaining number of students \[=N-{{N}_{1}}\] \[=20-5=15\] Now, \[AM=\frac{125}{15}=8.33\]
