Question 74

The average of a certain set of 'b' numbers is 'a', and the average of a certain set of 'a' numbers is 'b'. What is the average of all the numbers taken together?

Solution

The average of a certain set of 'b' numbers is 'a'.

total = $$a \times b$$ = ab

the average of a certain set of 'a' numbers is 'b'.

total = $$b \times a$$ = ba = ab

Average of all the numbers taken together = $$\frac{sum\ of\ data}{number\ of\ data}$$

= $$\frac{ab+ab}{b+a}$$

= $$\frac{2ab}{a+b}$$
