the time played, in minutes
the total number of points collected
the average number of points collected

Range refers to the possible outputs (the dependent variable). Here the output is Alec’s total points, so the correct choice is:
- the total number of points collected
More explicitly, if t is minutes played (t ≥ 0) and P(t) = 1250 + 75t, then the range is {1250 + 75t : t ≥ 0}. If t can be any nonnegative real number, the range is [1250, ∞). If t must be a nonnegative integer (whole minutes), the range is the discrete set {1250, 1325, 1400, …}.
- the total number of points collected
More explicitly, if t is minutes played (t ≥ 0) and P(t) = 1250 + 75t, then the range is {1250 + 75t : t ≥ 0}. If t can be any nonnegative real number, the range is [1250, ∞). If t must be a nonnegative integer (whole minutes), the range is the discrete set {1250, 1325, 1400, …}.
