Question

A trivia board game requires players to answer six questions in different categories to earn six tokens to fill up there hollow playing piece on the board. The game is over when the winning player earns six tokens. The graph shown below measures the performance of player during a particular game. The number of tokens earned is measured is measured on the y axis and time in minutes playing the game is measured along the x axis. Based on the information constrained in the graph, chose the statement that is false from the choices below.

A) it took the player a longer amount of time to earn there fourth token that any other token

B) it took the player four minutes to win three tokens

C) it took about ten minutes to play the game

D) the player related to graph won the game

Answer 1

The only incorrect statement is A)
Earning the sixth token took actually the longest. This can be seen by the length of the line at y=5.

Answer 2

The only possible incorrect answer is (A), and I'll explain why the other three are correct.

(B): The y-axis represents the number of tokens won, while the x-axis represents the time played in minutes. By looking at the graph at y = 3, we have an open circle at x = 4. This means that the player earned 3 tokens in the span of 4 minutes, and thus, (B) is correct.

(C) and (D) are correlative. By winning the game, it took the player 10 minutes to do so. This means that the player took 10 minutes to play the game, and because they won all six tokens, they won the game.

(A) is incorrect, because the interval between the third and fourth token isn't the longest, which indicates that the fourth token didn't take the longest to win. Thus, we can conclude that (A) is false.
