Question

Dunk McStuff played in 7 basketball games. altogether he scored 65 field goals (2 points each) and 12 free throws (1 point each). Find the mean number of points Dunk scored per game?

Answer 1

If you would like to know the mean number of points Dunk scored per game, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7 basketball games
65 field goals * 2 points + 12 free throws * 1 point = 65 * 2 + 12 * 1 = 142 points

142 points / 7 games = 20.29 points per game = 20 points per game

The correct result would be 20 points per game.
