To find the average change in field position per running play, we will sum the outcomes of all the plays and then divide by the number of plays.
Here are the outcomes from the running plays:
- Play 1: –3 yards
- Play 2: 2 yards
- Play 3: –1 yard
- Play 4: –2 yards
- Play 5: –3 yards
- Play 6: 1 yard
Now, let's sum these outcomes:
\[ -3 + 2 - 1 - 2 - 3 + 1 = -6 \]
The total change in field position is –6 yards.
Now, to find the average, we divide the total change by the number of plays (6):
\[ \text{Average change} = \frac{-6 \text{ yards}}{6 \text{ plays}} = -1 \text{ yard per play} \]
Therefore, the average change in field position per running play is –1 yard per play.
