Question

Dylan scored a total of 48 points in first 4 games of the basketball season. Which equation can be used to find g, the average number of points he scores per game?

Answer 1

g= 48/4???? that would make sense wouldn't it? because 48/4 would be the total number of points divided by the amount of games in which those points are scored.

Answer 2

`g = (48)/(4)`

Explanation:

`Average = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}`

`Average = \frac{\text{Total score}}{\text{Total no. of games}}`

Since we are given that Dylan scored a total of 48 points in first 4 games of the basketball season.

So,
`Average = (48)/(4)`

Let the average be g

So,
`g = (48)/(4)`

Hence The equation can be used to find g, the average number of points he scores per game is
`g = (48)/(4)`
