What are the average marks obtained by all five students in Mathematics?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 83.

We know that,

Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Total marks obtained by all students in Mathematics = 70 + 85 + 90 + 95 + 75 = 415

Average = 415/5 = 83

Thus, the average mark obtained by all five students in Mathematics is 83
