Question
Example A school conducted a survey to find out how far their students live from theschool. 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
Solution
To find the average distance of the students from the school, follow these steps:
-
First, we need to convert all distances to the same unit. In this case, we'll convert kilometers to meters because most of the distances are given in meters. 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. So, 1.5 km becomes 1500 meters and 1 km becomes 1000 meters.
-
Now, we add up all the distances: 950 m + 800 m + 700 m + 1500 m + 1000 m + 750 m = 5700 m
-
The average distance is found by dividing the total distance by the number of students. There are 6 students, so we divide 5700 m by 6: 5700 m / 6 = 950 m
So, the average distance of the students from the school is 950 meters.
