Find the weighted mean of the following data: Value(x) = {10, 20}, Weight(w) = {2, 3}.

  • A.15
  • B.16
  • C.17
  • D.18

Answer: B

\[ \bar{x} = \frac{\sum wx}{\sum w} = \frac{10(2) + 20(3)}{2 + 3} \]

\[ = \frac{80}{5} = 16 \]

The plain average would be 15; the heavier weight on 20 pulls it up.
