Ash & Tim argued about who scored the most goals over
the last 10 matches.
The frequency tables show the goals they scored in each match.
How can we calculate who scored the most goals?
4 matches with 0 goals = 0 goals in total
3 matches with 1 goal = 3 goals in total
1 match with 2 goals = 2 goals in total
2 matches with 3 goals = 6 goals in total
3 matches with 0 goals = 0 goals in total
5 matches with 1 goal = 5 goals in total
2 matches with 2 goals = 4 goals in total
= 11 goals
= 9 goals
