exactly For sentence A "The grade-point average of a student who does not play video games is 2.9408" we can verify as follows:

That means this sentence "The grade-point average of a student who does not play video games is 2.9408" is true.

For sentence B "The average number of video games played in a week by students is 2.9408" is not exactelly correct because the average number of hours of video game played is not specified.

For sentence C "It cannot be interpreted without more information" let's look over an illustration.

We can see, we can interpret the y-intercept as the moment where x = 0 which means when the student does not play a video game. So this sentence is false.

I mean the correct sentence is sentence A.
