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.

Answer 1

To determine which player averaged more points per game, we can calculate the average points per game for both Player A and Player B based on the data points provided in the graphs.

For Player A:

• Points scored:

  • (0, 0)
  • (2, 40)
  • (4, 80)

  To calculate the average points per game over the games played (0 to 4):

  1. Total points = 0 + 40 + 80 = 120 points
  2. Total games = 4 - 0 = 4 games
  3. Average points per game = Total points / Total games = 120 / 4 = 30 points per game

For Player B:

• Points scored:

  • (0, 0)
  • (3, 45)
  • (5, 75)

  To calculate the average points per game over the games played (0 to 5):

  1. Total points = 0 + 45 + 75 = 120 points
  2. Total games = 5 - 0 = 5 games
  3. Average points per game = Total points / Total games = 120 / 5 = 24 points per game

Conclusion:

• Player A averaged 30 points per game.
• Player B averaged 24 points per game.

Therefore, Player A averaged more points than Player B. Player A averaged 30 points per game.
