A. 10
B. 12
C. 14
D. 20
E. 22

Answer 1

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 22 onto the sum of all the points and divide by the amount of games (6), you get 12.

Answer 2

The score she must get during the 6th game to have a mean of 12 point score per game is 22.

What is mean?

The mean is the average of numbers.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows;

mean = sum of terms / number of terms

Therefore, to get a mean of 12 point score per game the 6th score can be calculated as follows:

let

x = 6th score

Hence,

8 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 14 + x   / 6 = 12

50 + x / 6 = 12

cross multiply

12 × 6 = 50 + x

72 = 50 + x

72 - 50 = x

x = 22

Therefore, the score is 22.
