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.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To determine which player averaged more points per game based on the data points provided, calculate the average for each player.

For Player A, the data points are:

(0, 0)
(2, 40)
(4, 80)

The average points scored can be calculated based on the total points scored divided by the total number of games played. The total points scored and the number of games would be:

Total points = 0 (from game 0) + 40 (from game 2) + 80 (from game 4) = 120 points
Total games = 2 (from game 0 to 4, considering games played: 0, 2, 4). Hence, Player A played 3 games.

Average for Player A: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total points}}{\text{Total games}} = \frac{120}{3} = 40 \text{ points per game} \]

For Player B, the data points are:

(0, 0)
(3, 45)
(5, 75)

Similarly, we calculate for Player B:

Total points = 0 (from game 0) + 45 (from game 3) + 75 (from game 5) = 120 points
Total games = 3 (from game 0 to 5, considering games played: 0, 3, 5). Hence, Player B also played 3 games.

Average for Player B: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total points}}{\text{Total games}} = \frac{120}{3} = 40 \text{ points per game} \]

Conclusion: Both players A and B averaged 40 points per game based on the given data.

Since none of the provided options reflect the correct averages, it seems there might have been a misinterpretation in the options. However, we can confidently assert that both players averaged the same score: 40 points per game.
