3. C
4. A

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : B

Formula used:

Average = Sum of all observations/Total number of observations

Calculation:

	Friday	Saturday	Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Total	Average
1	450	500	490	510	700	2650	530
2	500	500	550	600	400	2550	510
3	475	500	525	600	700	2800	560
4	500	550	600	600	500	2750	550

∴ Bus 2 has the lowest average 

Note:

We can directly calculate the total and see which is the lowest among all total.

Bus B has the lowest total, so it will have the lowest average.
