Given that the batters were 7, 14,6,4,5 and 6 then to find the average, you add the batters and divide by their number


\text{sum}=7+14+6+4+5+6=42
\text{Average}=(42)/(6)=7

Here you notice that the average is 7, so the coach's statement is true.

Your answer is , No;the mean of her strikeouts is 7
