Question

The average score of 7 players was initially recorded as 55. However, it was later discovered that a score of 35 had been mistakenly read as 53. Determine the correct average score.(Rounded up to two decimal places)

A.

54.31

B.

32.43

C.

52.43

D.

42.08

Correct option is C

Given:

Incorrect average of 7 players = 55
Wrong entry = 53 (should be 35)
Number of players = 7

Formula Used:
Correct total = Incorrect total − Wrong value + Correct value
Correct average = Correct total ÷ Number of players

Solution:

Incorrect total = 55 × 7 = 385

Correct total = 385 - 53 + 35 = 367

Correct average = 3677\frac{367}{7}​​

Correct average = 52.43(approx)
