First 10 over,
3.2 = 10 * 3.2 = 32runs.
40 overs is 282 = 282-32.
= 250.

250 ÷ 40 = 6.25,
6.25.

First 10 overs run rate 3.2=3.2 * 10 = 32.
Next, 40 overs is 282 = 282 - 32 = 250.
250 ÷ 40 overs = 6.25.
So, the answer is 6.25.

10 * 3.2 = 32
40 * X = 282
=> 282 - 32 = 250.

40X = 250.
X = 250/40.
X = 6.25.

Use the Average formula :

Average = sum of observations/number of observations.

For first 10 overs :
3.2 = Sum/10 --> Sum = 32--> Run in first 10 overs.
The total score is 282. First 10 overs, we scored 32 runs. So, remaining (282-32) runs=250 runs in 40 overs.

Applying the formula:

Average = sum of observations/number of observations.
Average= 250/40 = 6.25.

Left over = 40-10 = 30overs.
So, required run rate = (target /left over ) - current run rate.
= (282/30)- 3.2.
= 6.2.

The first 10 overs run rate is 3.2 which means score will be taken 32 runs per 10 overs.

Target is 282 then 282-32=250 remaining 40 overs runs.

Finally 250/40=6.25.

First we have to calculate the last 40 overs run rate.

Total score =282 but already they are scored in first 10 overs score was(10 * 3.2=32),
For these, we are subtracting,
Total score -10 overs score then (282-32) = 250.
Then we have get the score of last 40 over the score was 250.
Total score scored by last 40 overs/ number of overs.
250/40 = 6.25.
