Question

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?

Answer 1

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
