The mean age group of some students is 15years. When the age of a teacher, 45 years old, is added to the ages of the students, the mean of their ages become 18 years. Find the number of students in the group.
A. 7 B. 9 C. 15 D. 42
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
x \(\frac{\sum x}{N}\)
15 = \(\frac{\sum x }{N}\)
\(\sum x\) = 15N........(i)
y = \(\frac{\sum y}{Ny} = \frac{\sum x + 45}{N + 1}\)
