Question

A certain game gives scores between 0 and 5.

Trinity played 6 times and her mean score was 4.5.
Jayden played 4 times. If both players have the same
sum of scores, what was Jayden’s mean score?

Answer 1

The mean value of Jayden is 6.75 .

Explanation:

Given that the formula for mean is (total sum of scores) ÷ (total number of times). So first, we have to find the total sum of scores that Trinity gets :

`(total \: scores)/(6) = 4.5`

`total \: scores = 4.5 * 6`

`total \: scores \: = 27`

Assuming that Jayden also gets the score of 27 and played only 4 times so we have to find the Jayden's mean value :

`mean = (27)/(4)`

`mean = 6.75`
