Correct Answer: 1.59


Solution : Average number of children per family
$=\frac{\sum{\text{Number of children}\times\text{Number of families}}}{\sum{\text{Total number of families}}}$
$=\frac{0\times4+1\times22+2\times15+3\times6+4\times2}{4+22+15+6+2}$
$=\frac{22+30+18+8}{49}$
$=\frac{78}{49}$
$=1.59$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.59.
