The answer from the given option is The mean study time of students in class B is less than the students in class A.

Explanation:

  • Mean is defined as the ratio of the sum of the given terms to the number of the given terms. (i.e. sum divided by the count). In short, it is the average of the number.

There are three types of mean:

  1. Arithmetic mean(AM),
  2. Geometric mean(GM)
  3. Harmonic mean(HM).

Here in class A,  

  Mean in class A = (2+5+7+6+4+3+8+7+4+5+7+6+3+5+4+2+4+6+3+5) / 20

                                = 4.8.

  Mean in class B = (3+7+6+4+3+2+4+5+6+7+2+2+2+3+4+5+2+2+5+6) / 20

                                = 4.

Hence mean study time of class B is less than the mean study time of class A.
