The last time Andy went bowling he had a mean score of 158

per game.
After three games Andy has a total score of 473. He thinks he
needs to score over 160 in game four to get a mean score
greater than 158.
(a) Is Andy correct?

Answer:

no

Explanation:

suppose he will get exactly the score of 160 in the game four, the mean score this time will be (473+160)/4=158.25

which has already reached the mean score 158 and even higher than it

therefore, his statement is wrong
