What was the average number of students in Science course in the all the cities altogether during the academic year 2022-2023?
Correct Answer :
2240
Solution :
The correct answer is 2240.
To find the average number of students in the Science course across all five cities (A, B, C, D, and E), we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the total number of students enrolled in the Science course.
According to the given table, the number of Science students in each city is:
- City A: 2560
- City B: 2650
- City C: 2640
- City D: 1250
- City E: 2100
Adding the number of students from all cities gives the total sum:
(Note: This sum is also directly provided in the "Total" row under the "Science" column in the table).
Step 2: Calculate the average number of students.
Since there are 5 cities in total, we divide the total number of students by 5:
Calculating the division gives:
Therefore, the average number of students in the Science course across all the cities is 2240.
