Question

How many players are there on each team, and what is the maximum number of points a player can score in the game, given the following conditions:

A) 6 - 10 players per team
B) Each player can score 25 max
C) Five players on hand team

Answer 1

Each player can score up to 25 points, and with five players on the team, the maximum team score by these players is 125 points. The 40th percentile for points scored indicates that 40% of the players score eight points or less per game.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided, each team must have between 6 and 10 players. If each player can score a maximum of 25 points, and there are five players on the hand, the maximum number of points a player can score in a game would be 25 points. Since there are five players playing on a team at any time, the team's potential maximum score from these players, if each scored the maximum, would be 5 players multiplied by 25 points, equaling 125 points.

Concerning the 40th percentile for points scored per player in a game being eight, this means that 40% of the players scored eight points or less per game. In other words, if you lined up all the players in order of their points scored per game, the player at the 40th percentile would be the one who scored eight points.
