Given:

Average of 28 students = 52.25 kg

Average of 12 students = 48 kg

Concept used:

\(Average = {Sum\; of \;observations \over Total\; number\; of\; observations}\)

Calculation:

From the given data,

Weight of 28 students = 28 × 52.25 = 1463

Weight of 12 students = 12 × 48 = 576

Average = \(1463\;+\;576 \over40\)

Average = \(2039 \over 40\)

Average = 50.975

The average weight of all the students in the class is 50 .975.
