Answer 2

ANSWER

Find out the county batting average for the four years.

To proof

As given in the question

in 1919, he scored 891 runs at an average of 34.27

in 1920, he scored 949 runs at an average of 28.75

in 1921, 1329 runs at an average of 42.87

in 1922, 1101 runs at an average of 36.70

Formula

$Average = \frac{sum\ of\ all\ averages}{total\ number\ of\ years}$

put the value

$Average = \frac{34.27 + 28.75+ 42.87 + 36.70}{4}$

solving the above

 $Average = \frac{142.59}{4}$      

Average = 35.66

county batting average for the four years is 35.66

Hence proved
