Question

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

• A. 48
• B. 65
• C. 50
• D. 52

Answer 1

The correct option is C 50

Mean score $=\frac{\text{Total runs in all innings}}{\text{Total number of innings}}$

Total runs scored by the cricketer in all innings = 58 + 76 + 40 + 35 + 46 + 45 + 0 + 100 = 400
Total number of innings = 8

Then,
Mean score $=\frac{400}{8}=50$
