Question 1063313: Latoya has scored
26
,
18
, and
30
points in her three basketball games so far. How many points does she need to score in her next game so that her average (mean) is
23
points per game? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! She will have played in 4 games
mean=total/n
mean of 23 and n of 4 means a total of 92, because 92/4 is 23.
Her current total is 74.
Therefore, she needs to score 18.
26 is 3 above
18 is 5 below
30 is 7 above
18 is 5 below
The below and the above are both 10.
