Question

in a high school league, there were 256 touchdowns made last year. if 64 games were played, what is the mean, or the average, number of touchdowns made per game?
○ 4
○ 192
○ 320
○ 16,384

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the mean

The mean (average) is calculated as $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}$. Here, the sum of touchdowns is $256$ and the number of games (values) is $64$.

Step2: Calculate the mean

We use the formula $\frac{256}{64}$. Since $64\times4 = 256$, $\frac{256}{64}=4$.

Answer:

A. 4
