Question

Given below is the data for the amount of wheat produced in a village for 4 days of a week arranged in a tabular form:

Day	Production (in kgs)
Monday	1000
Tuesday	1250
Wednesday	1500
Thursday	1350

How much is the production of wheat on Wednesday higher than the average wheat production for the 4 days?

• A. 250 kg
• B. 100 kg
• C. 350 kg
• D. 225 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is D 225 kg

$Average=\frac{Sumofallobservations}{Totalnumberofobservations}$

In this case,
Sum of all observations
= 1000 + 1250 + 1500 + 1350
= 5100
Total number of observations = 4

$\therefore Average=\frac{5100}{4}=1275$

Production on Wednesday = 1500
$\therefore$ The production on Wednesday is 1500 - 1275 = 225 kg more than the average
