Answer:
Larry need to score 33 points in the 5 game in order to get mean of 25 in all of the 5 games.
Step-by-step explanation :
Points per game which is to be scored = 25
Total number of games = 5
So, total number of points which is to be scored = 25 × 5
= 125 points
Now, Points per game in 4 games = 23
So, total points scored in 4 games = 23 × 4
= 92
Hence, number of points to be scored in order to get 25 PPG = 125 - 92
= 33
Therefore, Larry need to score 33 points in the 5 game in order to get mean of 25 in all of the 5 games.
