Question:

The average of a set of 15 numbers is 41. Five numbers 21, 24, 39, 47 and 97 are removed from the above set. What will the average of the remaining 10 numbers?

Options:

39.2

37.6

38.7

36.4

Correct Answer:

38.7

Explanation:

Sum of 15 numbers = 15 × 41 = 615

Sum of 5 numbers = 21 + 24 + 39 + 47 + 97 = 228

Remaining sum of 10 numbers = 615 - 228 = 387

Average = \(\frac{387}{10}\) = 38.7
