Based on the dot plot description, we can summarize the number of goals scored by the boys' soccer team in each game:
- 0 goals: 0 games
- 1 goal: 1 game
- 2 goals: 2 games
- 3 goals: 0 games
- 4 goals: 1 game
- 5 goals: 0 games
To analyze the data:
-
Total number of games: There are a total of \(1 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 4\) games played so far.
-
Sum of goals scored: The total number of goals scored can be calculated as follows:
- \(1 \times 1 = 1\) goal from the game with 1 goal.
- \(2 \times 2 = 4\) goals from the two games with 2 goals.
- \(4 \times 1 = 4\) goals from the game with 4 goals.
- Summing these gives us \(1 + 4 + 4 = 9\) total goals scored.
-
Average goals per game: To find the average, divide the total goals scored by the number of games: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total goals}}{\text{Number of games}} = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25 \]
In conclusion, the boys' soccer team has played 4 games and scored a total of 9 goals, averaging 2.25 goals per game.
