    A university has 500 faculty members (male and female

    only) out of which females are 60%. The average height of females is 162 cm and that of males is 168 cm. What is the average faculty height (in cm) of the university? 
    A 125.4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 176.4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 146.4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 164.4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let’s break it down cleanly. Total faculty = 500 Females = 60% of 500 = 300 Males = 500 − 300 = 200 Now use weighted average. Average height = [(300 × 162) + (200 × 168)] ÷ 500 = (48600 + 33600) ÷ 500 = 82200 ÷ 500 = 164.4 cm
