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.

Answer 1

To determine which player averaged more points per game based on the description of the graphs, let's take a closer look at the data points provided for each player:

For Player A:

• Data Points: (0, 0), (2, 40), (4, 80)
• Average Points Calculation:
  • Total Points = 0 + 40 + 80 = 120 points
  • Total Games = 4 (considering games played are 0, 2, and 4, so three games played)
  • Average = Total Points / Total Games = 120 / 3 = 40 points per game.

For Player B:

• Data Points: (0, 0), (3, 45), (5, 75)
• Average Points Calculation:
  • Total Points = 0 + 45 + 75 = 120 points
  • Total Games = 3 (considering games played are 0, 3, and 5, so three games played)
  • Average = Total Points / Total Games = 120 / 3 = 40 points per game.

In conclusion, both players averaged the same points, which is 40 points per game.

None of the provided responses accurately represent the correct conclusion. If I were to summarize based on the data, I would conclude that Player A and Player B both averaged 40 points per game.
