Respuesta :

We know the number of yards run per quarter:

  • Quarter 1: -2 yards
  • Quarter 2: 14 yards
  • Quarter 3: -18 yards
  • Quarter 4: -6 yards

[tex]\text{Mean number of yards run} = \frac{\text{Sum of yards run across quarters}}{\text{Total number of quarters}}[/tex]

Sum of yards run across quarters = (-2) + 14 + (-18) + (-6) = -12

Total number of quarters = 4

⇒ [tex]\text{Mean number of yards run} = \frac{\text{Sum of yards run across quarters}}{\text{Total number of quarters}}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\text{Mean number of yards run} = \frac{-12}{4}[/tex] = -3

Hence, he ran -3 yards per quarter
