Question

Q.4 Virat Kohli scores the following runs in eight innings : 58,76, 46, 35, 46, 45, 0, 100 find the mean
score.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is an statistical tool to reach a conclusive, approximated central point of a data. Basically we are trying to reach the center point of data or try to measure the central tendency. Other tools to do this are: median and mode.

Mean : average of given data

Median : midpoint or mid value of given data.

Mode : most frequently occuring data.

we have to only calculate the mean.

$mean = \frac{sum \: of \: observations}{number \: of \: observation}$

sum of observation =

58+76+46+35+46+45+0+ 100 = 406

number of observation = 8

mean score = 406 / 8 = 50.75

You might have seen in a cricket match , they show us the average of a batsman before they come to bat, it is actually the mean of their scores.

so, in our question virat has a average of 50.75

what this tell you.

this basically gives us a good idea how the player has performed in past matches. even though virat go a 50 in past 3 matches only, it is good possibility that he will get 50 in his next innings.
