Average age of 50 turtles which lived in a pond is 152 years. If 10 among them whose average age is 148 years left the pond, then find the average age of remaining turtles increase by Correct Answer 1 years

Given,

Average age of 50 turtles = 152 years

Average age of 10 turtles = 148 years

Formula:

Average = Sum of all observations / total number of all observations

Calculation:

Sum of age of 50 turtles = 152 × 50 = 7600

Sum of age of 10 turtles = 148 × 10 = 1480

Sum of age of 40 turtles = 7600 - 1480 = 6120

Average age of 40 turtles = 6120 / 40

Average age of 40 turtles = 153 years

∴ Average age of turtles increase by = 153 - 152 = 1 years
