Question

Swati played eight basketball games this season. Her point totals for each game were 8, 14, 4, 7, 6, 14, 4, and 7. What was the mean number of points she scored per game?

Answer 1

The answer would be 8. I got that by adding up all the numbers (64) and then dividing how many numbers there are total which gave me the answer of 8.

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

It is given that Swati played eight basketball games this season. Her point totals for each game were 8, 14, 4, 7, 6, 14, 4, and 7. Then,

The mean number of points she scored per game can be found as:

`Mean number of points=(Sum of all the points)/(Total number of points)`

`Mean number of points=(8+14+4+7+6+14+4+7)/(8)`

`Mean number of points=(64)/(8)`

`Mean number of points=8`.

Therefore, the mean number of points she scored per game are 8.
