Answer:

The average number of points Joshua scores is

4.2

Explanation:

In two games Joshua scored 8 points each.

In one game he scored 3 points.

In two games he scored 7 points each.

In four games he scored 1 point in each game.

and in the last game Joshua scored 5 points.

from the above information we get the following data set

8 8 3 7 7 1 1 1 1 5

in order to find the average number of points Joshua scores,we need to find the mean of above data sets

= (8+8+3+7+7+1+1+1+1+5)/10

= 42/10

= 4.2

Hence, the average number of points Joshua scores is 4.2
