A cricketer has a mean score of 60 runs in 10 innings. Find out how many runs are to be scored in the 11 innings to raise the mean score to 62?
[RRB, 2015]
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of runs in 10 innings (A=60, N=10)
⇒S=60 X 10 =600
Later, In how many runs are to be scored in the 11 innings to raise the mean score to 62 (so A=62, N=11)
So, sum of 7 observations
⇒S=62 X 11 =682
Now,
Score of 11th innings =(sum of runs in 10 innings)-(Sum of runs in 11 innings)
=682-600
= 82
Hence, Option D is correct.
