Answer 1

Given:

You scored 12, 8, 15, and 21 points during your first four basketball games.

To find"

The mean score per game.

Solution:

We have,

Observations =12, 8, 15, and 21 points

Number of observations = 4

We know that,

$\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of the observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

The mean score per game is

$\text{Mean}=\dfrac{12+8+15+21}{4}$

$\text{Mean}=\dfrac{56}{4}$

$\text{Mean}=14$

Therefore, the mean score per game is 14 points.
