Question

A batsman scored the following number of runs in six innings: 36, 35, 50, 46, 60, 55. Calculate the mean runs scored by him in an inning.

Answer 1

Total runs = 36 + 35 + 50 + 46 + 60 + 55 = 282.

To find the mean, we find the sum of all the observations and divide it by the number of observations.

Therefore, in this case, mean = ${\displaystyle \frac{282}{6}}$ = 47.

Thus, the mean runs scored in an inning is 47.
