Answer :
Answer:
The number of innings Brantley pitched is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the table shows the number of innings pitched by each of the Greenbury Goblins' starting pitchers during the Rockbottom Tournament below;
Pitcher Number of innings pitched
Calvin 11
Thom 12
Shawn 7
Kris 3
Brantley x
Let the number of innings Brantley pitched be 'x'.
The mean of the following data set is given by the following formula;
Mean = [tex]\frac{\text{Sum of all data values}}{\text{Total number of observations}}[/tex]
[tex]8 = \frac{11+12+7+3+x}{5}[/tex]
[tex]8\times 5 =33+x[/tex]
[tex]40 = 33+x[/tex]
x = 40 - 33 = 7
Hence, the number of innings Brantley pitched is 7.
