Question

The list shows the number of points Emma scored in eight basketball games.

5, 11, 9, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7
Find the mean.

Answer 1

7 is the mean score.

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the required mean score.

The given scores are,

→ 5, 11, 9, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7

→ Numbers = 8

Then the mean score will be,

→ (5 + 11 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7)/8

→ 56/8 = 7

Hence, the mean score is 7.

Answer 2

Mean = 7

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of games = 8

Scores = 5, 11, 9, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7

We would sum all the scores together to get a total score.

Total scores = 5 + 11 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 56

Now, to find the mean;

`Mean = \frac {total \; scores}{number \; of \; games}`

Mean = 56/8

Mean = 7
