A simple line graph titled "Number of Home runs per Player".
The x-axis represents the number of home runs, ranging from 0 to 4. The horizontal axis is evenly spaced, but the number of spaces between the values is not necessarily the same as the value itself.
The y-axis (vertical) represents the players themselves. It is not labeled with specific player names.
The graph displays data points (small circles/dots) representing the number of home runs hit by different players.
Several players hit 0 home runs.
One player hit 1 home run.
Two players hit 2 home runs.
One player hit 4 home runs.

To find the mean number of home runs per player based on the given data, we first need to list the total number of home runs hit by all players and the total number of players.
From the description:
- Number of players who hit 0 home runs: 3 (since several players hit 0)
- Number of players who hit 1 home run: 1
- Number of players who hit 2 home runs: 2
- Number of players who hit 3 home runs: 0
- Number of players who hit 4 home runs: 1
Now we can summarize the data:
- Total home runs from players who hit 0: \(0 \times 3 = 0\)
- Total home runs from the player who hit 1: \(1 \times 1 = 1\)
- Total home runs from players who hit 2: \(2 \times 2 = 4\)
- Total home runs from players who hit 3: \(3 \times 0 = 0\)
- Total home runs from player who hit 4: \(4 \times 1 = 4\)
Now we can total the home runs:
\[
\text{Total home runs} = 0 + 1 + 4 + 0 + 4 = 9
\]
Next, we need to determine the total number of players:
- Total players = 3 (hitting 0) + 1 (hitting 1) + 2 (hitting 2) + 0 (hitting 3) + 1 (hitting 4) = 7 players
Now we can calculate the mean (average) number of home runs:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total home runs}}{\text{Total players}} = \frac{9}{7} \approx 1.29
\]
Therefore, the mean number of home runs per player is approximately **1.29**.
