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

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
I believe the answer is 8
