Explanation
We can use weighted averages to answer this question.
Weighted average of groups combined = (group A proportion)(group A average) + (group B proportion)(group B average) + (group C proportion)(group C average) + ...
Group A: 45/100 of the people are in this group. And their average rating is 3.8
Group B: 25/100 of the people are in this group. And their average rating is 4.6
Group C: 30/100 of the people are in this group. And their average rating is 4.2
Applying the above formula we get:
Weighted average of groups combined = (45/100)(3.8) + (25/100)(4.6) + (30/100)(4.2)
= 1.71 + 1.15 + 1.26
= 4.12
Answer: 4.1
