Correct Answer: 69.125 marks
Solution :
Given :
The average marks of 72 students are shown as 69.
Total marks of the student: 72 × 69 = 4968
Wrong entry of 45 marks instead of 54.
Difference made by the wrong entry of 45 marks instead of 54 marks: 54 – 45 = 9
So, the actual total marks of the students: 4968 + 9 = 4977
Average value = $\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Total no. of observations}}$
Average marks of 72 students: $\frac{\text{4977}}{\text{72}}= 69.125$
Hence, the correct answer is 69.125.
