a baseball team scored the following number of runs in its game this season: 6, 2, 5, 9, 11, 4, 5, 8, 6, 7, 5. there is one more
game in the season. if the team wants to end the season with an average of at least 6 runs per game, what us the least number of runs the team must score in the final game of the season?
After the season, 12 games would be played, and you need to know this to work out the mean Let's call the number of points needed for a 6 point average 'x' The mean would be: 6 + 2 + 5 + 9 + 11 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 5 + x = 12 * 6 Simply put: 68 + x = 72 Then simplify it x = 4 They would need 4 points to end the season with an average of 6 points
