Because it's avg attendance for the 2 months(June and July) and not the avg attendance by games.

Hope that helps!
shaliny
could you please explain why it is divided by 2?

What was the average (arithmetic mean) attendance for baseball games played at Memorial Stadium during the months of June and July?

S1
June Avg = 23100
July Avg = 25200
We need the actual attendance for each month to calculate mean or need to know that the number of games each month is the same
Insufficient

S2
June games = 20
July games = 22
We need the actual attendance for each month to calculate mean
Insufficient

Together, we can calculate the avg
(23100*20 + 25200*22)/2

Answer C

Average attendance =(Total number of games in June and July)/ (Total attendance for June and July)

Statement 1:

The average attendance for June is 23,100 and for July is 25,200.

This statement gives the average attendance for each month. Since, the total games played during these two months is not given, we cannot ascertain the exact number of attendances.

Hence, Insufficient

Statement 2:

There were 20 games played in June and 22 games played in July.

This statement gives us the number of games played in each month. Attendance during each match or average attendance is not given.

Hence, Insufficient

Combining Statements 1 and 2, we get.

Since Statement 1, provides the average attendance and Statement 2, provides the number of matches played during these months.

We can calculate the total attendance for the period June and July.

Total attendance in June = 23,100 * 20 = 462,000

Total attendance in July = 25200 * 22 = 554400

Total attendance for both June and July = (462000 + 554400) = 1,016,400

Total games for the months of June and July = 20+22. = 42

Average attendance = (1,016,400)/42 = 24200.

Option C
