Average Points= 20
No. of games = 6
Total points= 20×6=120
So, Sum of Score of five games= 23+18+16+24+27= 108
Therefore, Score in 6th game= 120-108= 12

To find :-
The sixth score of the game
Given :-
All five scores = 23, 18, 16, 24, and 27
The average of all six score = 20
Solution :-
We will use the average formula to find the sixth score.
[tex]average = \frac{total \: of \: all \: scores}{number \: of \: scores} [/tex]
And let the sixth score be x.
[tex]20 = \frac{23 + 18 + 16 + 24 + 27 + x}{6} [/tex]
Now we will cross multiply, the 6 which on L.H.S will come to R.H.S and multiply with 20.
[tex]20 \times 6 = 23 + 18 + 16 + 24 + 27 + x \\ 120 = 108 + x \\ 120 - 108 = x \\ 12 = x[/tex]
Result :-
The sixth score by the baseball player is 12.
