Question

An illustration shows two graphs depicting points per game for players A and B. The first graph shows points per game for player A. The horizontal axis shows games ranging from 0 to 5 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows points ranging from 0 to 85 in increments of 5. Three data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 40 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma 80 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points. The second graph shows points per game for player B. The horizontal axis shows games ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows points ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Three data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points.

The average points scored playing basketball for Player A and Player B are graphed in the graphs. Determine which player averaged more points per game.

Player B averaged more points than Player A. Player B averaged 75 points per game.

Player A averaged more points than Player B. Player A averaged 80 points per game.

Answer 1

To determine which player averaged more points per game, we can analyze the data points given in each graph:

For Player A:

• Points scored at Game 0: 0
• Points scored at Game 2: 40
• Points scored at Game 4: 80

To find the average points per game for Player A:

1. Total points = 0 + 40 + 80 = 120 points
2. Total games played = 2 (games from 0 to 4) = 3 games
3. Average points per game = Total points / Total games = 120 / 3 = 40 points

For Player B:

• Points scored at Game 0: 0
• Points scored at Game 3: 45
• Points scored at Game 5: 75

To find the average points per game for Player B:

1. Total points = 0 + 45 + 75 = 120 points
2. Total games played = 3 (games from 0 to 5) = 3 games
3. Average points per game = Total points / Total games = 120 / 3 = 40 points

Since both players averaged 40 points per game, the responses do not seem to match this calculation. Therefore, neither player averaged more points than the other; they both averaged the same number of points per game.

However, the provided response options do not include this conclusion. Please review the problem context or provide additional information if necessary.
