The mean height of all the students is 1.48m which means that the total height of all the students is 30 * 1.48m = 44.4m. The contribution due to the boys is 14 * 1.52m = 21.28m. Therefore the total height of the girls is 44.4m - 21.28m = 23.12m. There are 30 - 14 = 16 girls in the class, so the mean height of the girls is 23.12 / 16 = 1.45m. Remember to double check the answer: [(16 * 1.45m) + (14 * 1.52m)] / 30 = 1.48m which is correct.
