Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 72.8%

Given:

the percentage marks obtained by C = 80, 64, 72, 76, 72

Formula used:

Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Calculation:

Average % = (80 + 64 + 72 + 76 + 72)/5 = 364/5 = 72.8%

∴ The average percentage of marks obtained by all the students in subject C is 72.8%.
