CHAPTER - 7 AVERAGES - MIXTURES - ALLIGATIONS “AVERAGES. + "Average" isa very simple but effective way of representing an-entire group by a single valve. “Average” of a'group Is defined as follows. ‘Sumof all itemsinthegroup Number ofitenisinthegroup ‘Sum of all the items in the group” means “sum of the values ofall the items in the group" Average ‘A batsman’s performance can be expressed as the average number of runs scored per innings rather than giving the scores in individual innings. For example, let Us say a cricketer scored the following runs in 9 different innings in a year: 35, 56, 124, 29, 0, 87, 98, 45 and 75, Then his average score (per innings) for the year is Setsetleds zon Or onnosaetloege ~ 3 Similarly, if there are 60 students in a class, instead of talking of the height of each individual student, we'can talk of "average" height of the class. The average height of the «ass of students is equal to the sum of the heights of all the students of the class divided by the number of students in the class. Average is also called "arithmetic mean’ POINTS TO REMEMBER {iy Ifthe value of each item is increased / decreased by the same value p, then the average of the group or items will also increase / decrease by p. (i) If the value of each item is multiplied by the same value p, then the average of the group or items will ‘also be multiplied by p. (ii) If the value of each item Is divided by the same value p (p ¢ 0), then the average of the “group or items will also be divided by p. : (iv) The average of a group of items will aways lie between the smallest value in the group and largest value in the group - ie, the average will be greater than the smallest value and less than the largest value in the group. ‘AN EASY METHOD TO CALCULATE AVERAGES ° ‘As already discussed, the average of a group of items whose values are given can be found out by the rule given at the beginning of this section. However, in most of the cases, we do not need to perform such elaborate * additions and divisions. The calculation of averages can be simplified greatly by taking some'arbitrary number (P) as a starting point, take the deviations (differences) of the given items (Q,) from this arbitrary number, find the average of all these deviations (Q, ~ P) and add it to the arbitrary number (P) to give the correct average of the given items. If there are n items and they are denoted by Qs, Qa, 3, Qy, then the average of these n items is given by average = P+ $10,-P) 5 ‘The extent to which this method wil simpli the Zataleton wi depend on te selection of the aBirary Galua‘Pr't shoul be selected in such a way tal the Tetve andnogatve devine cancel ov each other 0 Perea poscte Then the nal fgue fet fr dvsion Ah be elaely smal making the dvsion easier, For example, the cricketer that we considered above foredhe flowing rans in seven innings: 35, 56. 45 5767, To and #0, Now to nd fs average, we take 27 Seay ture, soy 20° and frst find the deviations of ser eP ing acres tom tis four. Te deviation ofthe sae en gO re o15, 96,25, -T. 17,920 and 2 She sum ofthese deviation is 14, Hence ne average ofthe cricketers sores 14 50+ 14-52 . Please note that the number P (= 50 above) can be any Value. Let us work out the same example taking a Gifferent value for P. Let us take P equal to 45, “ihe Geviations of the scores from P are -10, +11, 0, ~2, +22, 325 and +3. The sum of these deviations is 49. Hence the average is 45 + 49/7 = 45.4.7 = 52. WEIGHTED AVERAGE. ‘When two groups of items are combined together, then we can talk of the average of the entire group. However, i we know only the average of the two groups , individually, we cannot find out the average of the ‘combined group nf "ers. For example, there are wo sections A and B of a class where the average height of section A is 150.em and that fof section B is 160 cm. On the basis of this information ‘lone, we cannot find the average of the entire class {of the two sections), As discussed earlier, the average height of the entire class is total height of the entire class Total number of studentsin the entire class ‘Since we do not have any information regarding the ‘number of students in the two sections, we cannot find the average of the entire class. Now, suppose that we ate given that there are 60 students in the section A and 40 students in section B, then we can calculate the ‘average height of the entire class which, in this case will 60x 150+ 40x160 60+ 40 ‘This average height 154 cm of the entire class is called “weighted average" height of the class. The above step in calculating the weighted average of the class can be rewritten as below: bbe equal to = 184 om, 60x150+40¥160 _ 60,50. ab 80x1504 40160. 60 45q,, 40 60+40 100 80: 700 °° 3ts042 : 345042160 5 ES 5 Itis clear from the above step that we would have been able to calculate the average height of the entire class even if we had not been given the numbér of students in the individual sections but only the ratio of the number of students in the two sections (which in this case is 2: 2). ‘Triumphant Institute of Management Education Pvt.

Hence the concentration of (= 10/50) or 20%. if 20 litres of pure milk is mixed with 10 litres of the concentration of this solution can be expressed as 75% (= 30/40)'milk or 25% water. We can also have two solutions mixed together to give a Rew solution. Such problems can also bé handled in the. Same manner as other mixtures. In the weighted average rule, the qualities of the constituents (ps, pz. ete.) will then be the concentrations of various solutions mixed together. Examples 7.01.
