Question

A school conducted a survey to find out how far their students live from the school. Given below is the distance of the houses of six of the students from the school. Let us find their average distance from the school.
950 m, 800 m, 700 m, 1.5 km, 1 km, 750 m

Answer 1

Average = `"Sum of the distance between home and school for six students"/"Total number of students"`

= `(950 + 800 + 700 + 1500 + 1000 + 750)/6`

= `(5700)/6`

= 950 m

The average distance at which the students live from the school is 950 m.
