-
- Average age of the team=22
means, (p1+p2+...P11)/11 = 22
then sum of ages will be, (p1+p2+...p11) = 22*11 = 242.
now age increased by 1 when including coach's age then
The average will be ,
(p1+p2+....p11+c1)/12 = 23.
now the sum of their ages including the coach will be, ( p1+p2+...p11+c1) = 23*12 = 276.
now sum of ages of players = 242
sum of ages including the coach = 276
coach age = 276-242 = 34 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 1) 34 years
If age of coach be 'x' years, then new average=(11*22 +x )/(11+1) =(22+1)
x=12*23 - 11*22 = 34 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- Ans. 1) 34 years
total age of 11 players. = 11x22=242.
let "x" is the age of coach then the avg age :
(22+1)= [(242+x)/12]
=> (23x12)=242+x
=> 276=242+x
=> x= 276-242= 34 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans: 34
After adding the coach age the average is 23 and 1 year is added in the age of each player.
therefore coach age is 23+11=34 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- avg of 11=22 and let sum of age be x
hence, x=11*22=242
coach age is added then,
(x+y)/12=23
=>(242+y)/12=23
hence y=34 // solving above equation for y - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
