After eight matches a basketball player had scored a mean of 27 points,after another 3 matches his mean was 29,after more 5 matches his mean rose to 32.calculate the total number of points he scored in the last five games.
After the total of 16 games, he had scored 16*32 = 512 points
After the first 8 games, he had scored 27*8 = 216 points
(You don't need this information)
After the first 11 games, he had scored 11*29 = 319 points
In the last 5 games, he scored 512 - 319 = 193 points
Well, it seems like this basketball player is on fire - not literally, I hope! Let's do some math together.
According to the information you provided, the mean score after eight matches was 27 points. So, the total points in those eight matches would be 27 multiplied by 8, which equals 216 points.
After playing another 3 matches, the mean rose to 29 points. Now we have a total of 11 matches played. To find the total points scored in those 11 matches, we multiply the new mean (29 points) by the number of matches (11). So, 29 multiplied by 11 gives us 319 points.
Finally, after playing five more matches, the mean increased to 32 points. Now we have a total of 16 matches played. To calculate the total points in those 16 matches, we multiply the new mean (32 points) by the number of matches (16). So, 32 multiplied by 16 gives us 512 points.
To find out the total number of points scored in the last five games, we subtract the total points in the first 11 matches from the total points in all 16 matches. That would be 512 points minus 319 points, which equals 193 points.
Therefore, the basketball player scored a total of 193 points in the last five games. That's quite impressive!
To solve this problem, we can use the concept of mean and total points scored.
Let's break down the information given step by step:
1. After eight matches, the player had a mean of 27 points.
- Total points scored in these eight matches = 8 x 27 = 216 points
2. After three more matches, the mean increased to 29.
- Total points scored in these three matches = 3 x 29 = 87 points
3. After five more matches, the mean increased to 32.
- Total points scored in these five matches = 5 x 32 = 160 points
To calculate the total number of points scored in the last five games, we need to subtract the points scored in the first eight matches and the next three matches from the total points scored in all the given matches.
Total points scored in all the given matches = 216 + 87 + 160 = 463
Total points scored in the last five matches = 463 - (216 + 87) = 463 - 303 = 160
Therefore, the basketball player scored a total of 160 points in the last five games.
To calculate the total number of points the basketball player scored in the last five games, we need to find the total points he scored in each phase and then subtract the points they scored in the first eight matches.
Let's break down the problem step-by-step:
1. In the first eight matches, the player had a mean of 27 points. This means the total points scored in those eight matches can be found by multiplying the mean (27) by the number of matches (8):
Total points in the first eight matches = 27 * 8 = 216 points.
2. After three additional matches, the mean increased to 29. To find the total points scored in those three matches, we can multiply the new mean (29) by the number of matches (3):
Total points in the next three matches = 29 * 3 = 87 points.
3. After another five matches, the mean rose to 32. Similarly, we can find the total points scored in those five matches by multiplying the new mean (32) by the number of matches (5):
Total points in the last five matches = 32 * 5 = 160 points.
Now, to calculate the total number of points scored in the last five matches, we subtract the points scored in the first eight matches from the total points in the last five matches:
Total points in the last five matches = (Total points in the next three matches) + (Total points in the last five matches) - (Total points in the first eight matches)
= 87 + 160 - 216
= 31 points.
Therefore, the basketball player scored a total of 31 points in the last five games.
