| C | 8 | 11 | Did not play | 13 |
Now answer the following questions:
- Find the mean to determine A’s average number of points scored per game.
- To find the mean number of points per game for C, would you divide the total points by 3 or by 4? Why?
- B played in all the four games. How would you find the mean?

Solution
i. A’s average number of points = `(14 + 16 + 10 + 10)/4`
= `50/4`
= 12.5
ii. To find the mean number of points per game for C, we will divide the total points by 3 because C played 3 games.
Mean of B’s score = `(0 + 8 + 6 + 4)/4`
= `18/4`
= 4.5
iii. The best performer will have the greatest average among all. Now we can observe that the average of A is 12.5 which is more than that of B and C. Therefore, A is the best performer among these three.
