Answer 1

Answer:

The number of innings Brantley pitched is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the table shows the number of innings pitched by each of the Greenbury Goblins' starting pitchers during the Rockbottom Tournament below;

         Pitcher                           Number of innings pitched

          Calvin                                            11

          Thom                                             12

          Shawn                                            7

            Kris                                               3

         Brantley                                           x

Let the number of innings Brantley pitched be 'x'.

The mean of the following data set is given by the following formula;

          Mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of all data values}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$

                  $8 = \frac{11+12+7+3+x}{5}$

                 $8\times 5 =33+x$

                 $40 = 33+x$

                  x = 40 - 33 = 7

Hence, the number of innings Brantley pitched is 7.
