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, …}.
