Solution
Mean birth rate of the week = 35
∴Total births in the week = 35 × 7 = 245
Mean birth rate from Monday to ?Thursday = 32
∴Total births from Monday to Thursday = 32 × 4 = 128
Mean birth rate from Thursday to Sunday = 36
∴Total births from Thursday to Sunday = 36 × 4 = 144
Thus, Total births from Monday to Thursday + Total births from Thursday to Sunday = 128 + 144 = 272
⇒Total births from Monday to Sunday + Births on Thursday = 272
⇒Births on Thursday = 272 - 245 = 27
Therefore, number of births on Thursday = 27
Mean birth rate of the week = 35
∴Total births in the week = 35 × 7 = 245
Mean birth rate from Monday to ?Thursday = 32
∴Total births from Monday to Thursday = 32 × 4 = 128
Mean birth rate from Thursday to Sunday = 36
∴Total births from Thursday to Sunday = 36 × 4 = 144
Thus, Total births from Monday to Thursday + Total births from Thursday to Sunday = 128 + 144 = 272
⇒Total births from Monday to Sunday + Births on Thursday = 272
⇒Births on Thursday = 272 - 245 = 27
Therefore, number of births on Thursday = 27
