22. AVERAGES
Mode: The most common event
Median: The middle when in order
Mean: The calculated central value

24. AVERAGES ANSWERS

25. AVERAGES FROM A TABLE
To calculate the mean:
There are 6 0s, 6 1s, 2
2s, etc, so we can
multiply across to make
adding quicker!
Then calculate the
total and divide by the
number of goals.
39 ÷ 20 = 1.95 goals
