Given:

Formula used:

Average production of fertilizer = Total production/Number of years

Calculation:

According to the given data

Total production in all the years = (35 + 50 + 70 + 55 + 75 + 60 + 85 + 90) × 1000

= 520000 tonnes

Average production of all years = 520000/8 = 65000 tonnes

From the table we can say that

Years having more than average production = 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018

∴ Required number of years = 4
