Question

The following are the last 10 run scores Colin got in cricket: 1, 16, 5, 25, 26, 32, 5, 7, 1, 7 a) Work out Colin's mean score. b) Colin plays cricket again on Sunday. He gets 29 runs. What is his new mean score? Give your answers as decimals.

Answer 1

a. 12.5 b. 14

Explanation:

If you add all of the scores together (125) and then divide by the the number of scores in the sequence (10), you get 12.5, and then you need to add the 29 on to 125 and divide that by 11, because thats the new amount of numbers in the sequence, to get 14.
