Answer» According to the given INFORMATION, Number of male MEMBERS = 4 Let the number of FEMALE members be y. We know that, Average = Sum of all observations/Number of observations The average monthly income of male members is Rs.24000 per head ∴ 24000 = TOTAL monthly income of males/4 ⇒ Total monthly income of males = 24000 × 4 = 96000 The average monthly income of female members is Rs.18750 per head ∴ 18750 = Total monthly income of females/y ⇒ Total monthly income of females = 18750y Now, total average monthly income = (Income of males + Income of females)/(males + females) $(\therefore 21750 = \;\frac{{96000 + 18750y}}{{4 + y}})$ ⇒ 87000 + 21750y = 96000 + 18750y ⇒ 3000y = 9000 ⇒ y = 3 Hence, the number of female members is 3. |
