Answer:

a)18.8 (b)20

Step-by-step explanation:

Tee hee, I had this in Hegarty Maths.

Basically, you have to add all the numbers from the data set (188) then divide them by 10 and that equals 18.8

The second part you have to add 32 to 188 ( which equals 210) and that by 11 which equals 20

Colin's mean score of his 10 runs is 18.8.

Colin's new mean score after the game on Sunday is 20.

Mean is a measure of central tendency. It is used to describe a data set. It is the sum of a set of observations divided by the number of observations. It is also known as average.

Mean = sum of scores / total number of scores.

Colin's mean scores can be determined by dividing the sum of scores by total number of scores.

Sum of scores = (20 +  29 + 34 + 19 + 8 + 12 +  0 + 23 + 29 + 14)  = 188

Number of scores = 10

Mean of scores = 188 / 10 = 18.8

Colin's new mean score can be determined by adding 32 to the sum of scores already determined and dividing the sum by the total number of scores.

New sum of scores = 188 + 32 = 220

Number of scores = 11

Mean scores = 220 / 11 = 20
