Question

Our team played five basketball games against a rival school. Which is closest to ourteam's average score?A. 81B. 371C.63D.60

Answer 1

Average is computed as follows:

`\text{average}=\frac{total\text{ sum of }all\text{ numbers}}{\text{ number of items}}`

Substituting with the values from the table, we get:

`\text{average score = }(57+62+81+51+66)/(5)=(317)/(5)=63.4\approx63`
