Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In a class of 30 students, the average height is 160 cm. If the height of one student is 170 cm, what is the new average height after removing that student?
Step 1: Calculate the total height of all 30 students by multiplying the average height by the number of students. Total height = 30 * 160 cm.
Step 2: Perform the multiplication: 30 * 160 = 4800 cm. This is the total height of all students.
Step 3: Remove the height of the student who is 170 cm tall from the total height. New total height = 4800 cm - 170 cm.
Step 4: Perform the subtraction: 4800 - 170 = 4630 cm. This is the new total height after removing the student.
Step 5: Calculate the new average height by dividing the new total height by the new number of students (29). New average height = 4630 cm / 29.
Step 6: Perform the division: 4630 / 29 = 159.66 cm. This is the new average height after removing the student.
