A netball team scored 60 42 48 and 46 goals in their first four matches.What is the mean number of goals for the first for matches?What score will the team need to shoot in the next match so that they maintain the same mean score. the team shoots only 39 goals in the fifth match.

total points so far is 196

so, the mean for those 4 games is 196/4=49
They need 49 in the next game to keep the same mean.

Mean = (60+42+48+46)/4 = 49,

(60+42+48+46+x)/5 = 49,
(196+x)/5 = 49,
196+x = 245,
X = 49.

To find the mean number of goals for the first four matches, you can add up the total number of goals and divide it by the number of matches.

Total goals = 60 + 42 + 48 + 46 = 196

Mean number of goals = 196 / 4 = 49

So, the mean number of goals for the first four matches is 49.

To find out what score the team needs to shoot in the next match to maintain the same mean score, we need to calculate the new total number of goals for all five matches and divide it by 5.

New total goals = 196 + 39 = 235

Mean number of goals for five matches = 235 / 5 = 47

Therefore, the team needs to score 47 goals in the next match to maintain the same mean score.

Note: It's important to double-check the calculations to ensure accuracy.
