Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : C

Given:

4 cricketers played 13, 9, 5, and 11 innings

Mean = 9

Formula used:

Mean = Sum of all observations/Number of observations

Calculation:

Let the 5th player played x innings.

Sum of all innings played by 5 players = 13 + 9 + 5 + 11 + x

⇒ Sum of all innings = 38 + x

Total players = 5

Mean = Sum of all innings played by 5 players/Total players

⇒ 9 = (38 + x)/5

⇒ 45 = 38 + x

⇒ x = 45 – 38 = 7

∴ Innings played by 5th player is 7
