In Tim's last 5 games here's the number of three-point field goals scored per game.
9
6
0
9
3
How many three-point field goals would Tim have to kick in the next game to bring his average (arithmetic mean) to six points per game?
I just need to be walked through how you would solve this or a similar problem.
I think I have a better and easier to understand than yours.
We could add all of his points scored, we would get 27 points scored. We trying to calculate the mean for 6 points per game which is 6 games. So 6x6=36. Then, 36-27 = 9 which is the points he needs to make for the 6th game, which equivalent to 3 three-point field goals (aka hattrick)
this question is not a typo people get confused because you have to understand that when every time he scores in the game he scored once. so that means 3 points = 1 successful score. so instead of adding 9+6+0+9+3 / 5 instead add 3+2+0+3+1/5(find the mean like usual) = 9/5 => 1.8 so that translates to him scoring (multiply 1.8*3=5.4) 5.4 points per game. so he needs to score 3 times next game (scoring 3 times next game means he scored 9 points) so if he scores 3 times next game it will make is average/mean score rise to 6 points.
ur welcome ;)
p.s it would be funny if u would hit up my ig: @jovanyt6226 and let me know i helped goodluck with life's endeavors fellow human tribe member of earth :)
Well, it seems like Tim is quite the three-point shooter! To find out how many three-point field goals he needs to kick in the next game to bring his average to six points per game, we can follow a simple step-by-step process:
Step 1: Sum up the total number of three-point field goals Tim has scored in the last 5 games:
9 + 6 + 0 + 9 + 3 = 27
Step 2: Determine the number of games that have been played so far, which is 5.
Step 3: Calculate Tim's current average points per game by dividing the total number of three-point field goals by the number of games played:
27 ÷ 5 = 5.4
Step 4: To bring his average up to six points per game, we need to find out by how much Tim's average is currently below six:
6 - 5.4 = 0.6
Step 5: Finally, divide the difference by the number of remaining games (1) to determine how many three-point field goals Tim needs to kick in the next game:
0.6 ÷ 1 = 0.6
So, Tim needs to kick in 0.6 three-point field goals in his next game to bring his average to six points per game. Unfortunately, I cannot foresee how a player can score 0.6 of a field goal, so he might need to settle for either 0 or 1 three-point field goal. Good luck to Tim!
To solve this problem, we need to find the total number of three-point field goals Tim has made in the last 5 games, and then determine how many more goals are needed in the next game to bring his average to 6.
Here's how you can solve this step by step:
1. Add up the number of three-point field goals in the last 5 games: 9 + 6 + 0 + 9 + 3 = 27.
2. Find the current average by dividing the total number of three-point field goals (27) by the number of games (5): 27 / 5 = 5.4.
3. Calculate the number of goals Tim needs to score in the next game to bring his average to 6. The average of 6 means that in a total of 6 games, he wants to score a total of 36 points (6 goals per game * 6 games). Since he has already played 5 games, he has scored a total of 27 points so far. So the number of goals he needs in the next game would be: 36 - 27 = 9.
Therefore, Tim would need to score 9 three-point field goals in the next game to bring his average to 6 points per game.
6 points per game for 6 games is 36 points total
So, how many points shy is he after 5 games?
Divide that by 3 to find the number of goals needed.
Actually, I suspect a typo.
