Question

Please help me. There are 25 students in Mrs. Benatar‘s class at the beginning of the school year, and the average number of siblings for each student is three. A new student with eight siblings join the class in November. What is the new class average for number of siblings? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer: 3.19

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the average I used a simple but pretty effective method

3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+8/26=3.1923

So the new average is 3.19
