Solution

We have,

Number of students in a class = 40

Number of boys in a class = 15,

Mean of marks obtained by boys = 33 

Mean of marks obtained by girls = 35

Number of girls in the class = 40 - 15 = 25

Sum of marks obtained by boys = Mean × Number of boys

= 33 × 15

= 495

Sum of marks obtained by girls = 35 × 25  = 875

So, the mean of all students in the class = `"Sum of marks obtained by students"/"Number of students"`

= `(495 + 875)/40`

= `1370/40`

= 34.25

The mean of all students in the class is 34.25.
