The following bar chart shows the runs given and overs bowled by a bowler in 6 different matches.
Economy rate = $\frac{\text{Runs given}}{\text{Overs bowled}}$
What will be the economy rate of the bowler for all the 6 matches taken together? [Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.]
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Economy rate M1 = \(\frac{66 }{9}\) = 7.33
Economy rate M2 = \(\frac{56 }{10}\) = 5.6
Economy rate M3 = \(\frac{72 }{8}\) = 9
Economy rate M4 = \(\frac{43 }{6}\) = 7.16
Economy rate M5 = \(\frac{20 }{8}\) = 2.5
Economy rate M6 = \(\frac{36 }{7}\) = 5.14
Economy rate for all 6 matches together = \(\frac{7.33+5.6+9+7.16+2.5+5.14 }{7}\)
= 6.12 ( correct to 2 decimal places )
