Question: A class has 10 students with an average height of 150 cm. If 5 new students with an average height of 160 cm join, what is the new average height of the class?
Options:
Correct Answer: 156
Solution:
Total height of 10 students = 10 * 150 = 1500 cm. Total height of 5 new students = 5 * 160 = 800 cm. New total height = 1500 + 800 = 2300 cm. New average = 2300 / 15 = 153.33 cm.
