Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Games and ranges from 0 to 7 in 1 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled points and ranges from 0 to 250 in increments of 50. The graph is titled Points per Game. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 90 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 150 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 210 right parenthesis.
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.
To find the average points per game, we need to divide the total number of points by the total number of games played.
From the graph, we can see that the number of points scored ranges from 0 to 210. And the number of games played ranges from 0 to 7.
To find the average points per game, we can add up the total number of points and divide it by the total number of games played.
0 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 15
Therefore, the average points per game is 15 divided by 4 (the number of games played), which is 3.75.
So, an average of 3.75 points were scored per game.
To determine the average points per game, we need to calculate the total points and divide it by the total number of games.
From the given information, we have the following points and games played:
Point 1: (0, 0)
Point 2: (3, 90)
Point 3: (5, 150)
Point 4: (7, 210)
Total points = 0 + 90 + 150 + 210 = 450
Total games = 7
Now, let's calculate the average points per game:
Average points per game = Total points / Total games
= 450 / 7
≈ 64.286
So, an average of approximately 64.286 points were scored per game.
