Let the original number of innings be n with an average of 60, giving a total runs of 60n. Thus, his new total is 60n + 480. Since his new average is now 66 and for n+6 innings: (60n + 480)/(n + 6) = 66. Solving this provides n = 20, correlating with he initially played 16 innings .

For eleven numbers, removing two central digits recasts the sequence's average. The introversion decreases by 1, since the median conformity is centered around regular intervals (the sum parallels integers). Hence, exogenous adjustment must incur systematic and predictable shift paralleling the middle number, raising the average by practically 1 integer .

The odd numbers from 1 to 100 form an arithmetic sequence where the first term a = 1, the last term l = 99, and the number of terms n = 50. The average of an arithmetic sequence is given by (a + l)/2. Hence, the average is (1 + 99)/2 = 50 .

Initially, the total sum of scores was calculated as 4000 when including the incorrect score of 83. Correcting it to 53 decreases the total sum by 30, resulting in a new sum of 3970. Dividing this by the number of students (100) gives a corrected average of 39.7 .

An increase of 1/7 years in average implies adding 1 year to the total age. Already, the total is 50 * 25 = 1250 years. When one person leaves, we must compute 49 * (25 + 1/7) to ensure continuity, equating it back to 1250 minus the leaver's age. Solving gives the leaver's age as 18 years .

The initial total age is reduced by (11 players * 2 months)/12 months per year = 11/6 years. The initial total age of the two replaced players is 17 + 20 = 37 years. So, the total new age needed is 37 - 11/6 = 185/6. Dividing by 2 (the number of new players) gives the average age of approximately 15.83 years, or 17 years with some months adjustment .

The total age including the teacher is 15 * 15 = 225. Excluding the teacher, the total age of the girls is 14 * 14 = 196. Thus, the teacher's age is 225 - 196 = 29 years .

Given: 2A + 2B + 2C = 3 total averages by equation sets: {A+B = 10100, B+C = 12500, A+C = 10400}, deducing 3 equations subtracts dimensionally intersections and reveals fundamental A separately as 10100 - (12500 - 10400)/2 + 10400 will reduce logically to provide A = 5000 .

The sum of these 11 numbers equates to 11 times the average, which is 825. The middle number determines the position 75. Thus, the sequence spans 75 ± 5. Consequently, the largest number is 80 .

The average of the first 50 positive even numbers is 51. The sequence is 2, 4, 6,...,100, which is arithmetic with the common difference of 2. The average of an arithmetic sequence is simply the average of its first and last terms: (2 + 100)/2 = 51 .
