Answer:

New mean average of 7 grades = 7.17 (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Mean average of 5 grades = 7.31

Number of grades = 5

New grades = 4.47 and 9.15

Find:

New mean average of 7 grades

Computation:

Total of old grades = Mean average of 5 grades x Number of grades

Total of old grades = 7.31 x 5

Total of old grades = 36.55

Total of new grades = Total of old grades + 4.47 + 9.15

Total of new grades = 36.55 + 4.47 + 9.15

Total of new grades = 50.17

New mean average of 7 grades = 50.17 / 7

New mean average of 7 grades = 7.167

New mean average of 7 grades = 7.17 (Approx.)
