Answer:

Colin's mean score = 17.10

The new mean is 18.00

Explanation:

Given scores: 31, 10, 26, 16, 28, 31, 9, 11, 8, 1

number of terms: 10

mean is calculated by given formula = sum of all the data set/ number of terms in the data set.

mean for the 10 scores = (31+ 10+ 26+ 16+ 28+ 31+ 9+ 11+ 8+ 1 )/10

= 171/10 = 17.1

Colin's mean score = 17.10

____________________________________________

runs scored by Colin in 11th match = 27

number of terms: 11

new mean = new sum /number of terms

new mean = (old sum score + 27)/11 = (171+27)/11

new mean = 198/11 = 18

The new mean is 18.00
