Question

Goals scored by a hockey team in successive matches are 5,7,4,2,4,0,5,5 and 3. What is the number of goals, the team must score in 10th match in order that the average comes to 4goals per match?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Total goals /total no. of matches = 4

5+7+4+2+4+0+5+5+3+x / 10 = 4

35 + x = 4 × 10

x = 40 - 35

x = 5

So, the team must score 5 inorder to get the average of 4 goals per match.
