Question

Following are the runs scored by three batsman in $6$ completed innings.
$\begin{array}{cccccccc}A& :& 15& 25& 0& 32& 35& 65\\ B& :& 24& 36& 12& 14& 18& 30\\ C& :& 18& 45& 37& 3& 40& 32\end{array}$
Find who is the best batsman, using the above data.

Answer 1

Mean of $A=\frac{15+25+0+32+35+65}{6}$

$=\frac{17.2}{6}=28.6$

Mean of $B=\frac{24+36+12+14+18+30}{6}$

$=\frac{134}{6}=22.3$

Mean of $C=\frac{18+45+37+3+40+32}{6}$

$=\frac{175}{6}=29.6$

While comparing mean of $A,BandC$

$C^{\prime }s$ mean is highest than $AandB$

so $C$ is best batsman.
