The students at a High School earned money for an international animal rescue foundation. 82 seniors earned an average $26.75 per student, 74 juniors earned an average $12.25 per student, 96 sophomores earned an average $15.50 per student, and 99 freshmen earned an average $10.85 per student. What was the average collection for a student in this school?

Answer 1

Using the mean concept, the average collection for a student in this school was of $16.13.

What is the mean?

The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations.

The number of students is given as follows:

82 + 74 + 96 + 99 = 351.

The sum is:

82 x 26.75 + 74 x 12.25 + 96 x 15.50 + 99 x 10.85 = $5662.15

Hence the mean is:

M = $5662.15/351 = $16.13.
