SAT One-variable data Question
An environmental scientist is investigating the volatility of 175 organic compounds by finding the boiling point of each compound. The mean boiling point of all 175 compounds is 167 degrees Celsius. The scientist classifies each of these compounds as either semivolatile or volatile. Of the 175 compounds, 50 compounds were classified as semivolatile, and these 50 compounds have a mean boiling point of 327 degrees Celsius. The remaining 125 compounds were classified as volatile. What is the mean boiling point, in degrees Celsius, of the 125 compounds classified as volatile compounds?
