Question

In a high school league, there were 256 touchdowns made last year. If 64 games were played, what is the mean, or the average, number of touchdowns made per game?

Answer 1

There is an average of 4 touchdowns made per each game.

Number of touchdowns made last year = 256

Number of games played=64

In order to find mean or average we have this formula,

`Mean= (Number of touchdowns made last year)/(Number of games played)`

Plugging the values , we have

`Mean= (256)/(64)`

Mean = 4

Answer: The mean or average number of touchdown made per year is 4.
