Question

The soccer team scored 3 goals in their first game, 7 goals in the next game, and 2 goals in the third game.

What was the mean number of goals scored for the three games?
O A 2 Ов. 3 O c. 4 O D.5 O E 7 ​

Answer 1

C. 4

Explanation:

The mean is what people usually call the average.

The mean is the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers.

There were 3 games, so there are 3 scores, so the number of numbers in this case is the number of scores which is 3.

The sum of the scores is 3 + 7 + 2 = 12

mean = (sum)/(number of scores) = 12/3 = 4

Answer: C. 4
