Question

Cindy struck out 7, 14, 6, 4, 5, and 6 batters in softball games this season. In discussing her stats with a newspaper reporter, Cindy's coach mentions that the average number of Cindy's strikeouts is 7. Is the coach's statement misleading? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

The coach's statement is not misleading because her average strikeouts  is 7.

Where as the coach also tells that it is 7.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is taken out by adding the observations and dividing by the total number of observations.

X`= ∑x/n     where n is the number of observations.

Average = 7 + 14 + 6 + 4 +5 +6 /6

Average = 42/6= 7

The coach's statement is not misleading because her average strikeouts  is 7.
