The graph displays the number of points scored and the number of basketball games played. Determine the average points per game. (1 point) An average of points were scored per game. the graph shows 0 through 7 games, and the points as well. The first point was just a little bit below 100 and was on game 3. the second point was game 5 and had 150 points. The third point was game 7 and had a little over 200 points

1 answer

To calculate the average points per game based on the information provided:

  1. Identify the points scored at each game:

    • Game 3: Approximately 95 points (just below 100)
    • Game 5: 150 points
    • Game 7: Approximately 205 points (a little over 200)

  2. Sum the points scored: \( 95 + 150 + 205 = 450 \) points

  3. Count the number of games played: Since points were given for games 3, 5, and 7, we can assume there are three games for which we have scoring data (we'll focus on these games for averaging purposes).

  4. Calculate the average points per game: \[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{\text{Total points scored}}{\text{Number of games}} = \frac{450}{3} = 150 \]

Thus, the average points scored per game is 150 points.
