Question

A cricketer scores the following runs in eight innings: 58, 76, 40, 35, 46, 45, 100, 0

What will be his mean score?

1. 400
2. 100
3. 200
4. 50

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 50

Given:

Runs scored in 8 innings = 58, 76, 40, 35, 46, 45 and 100

Formula used:

Mean = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Calculation:

Sum of observations = (58 + 76 + 40 + 35 + 46 + 45 + 100 + 0)

⇒ 400

Number of innings = 8

Mean = 400/8

⇒ 50

∴ The mean score is 50
