The number of points scored by the starting players on the basketball team were 8,12,16,19,20.What was the average number of points per starting player?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

The formula for Mean or Average = Sum of terms/Number of terms

We are given this number of points: 8,12,16,19,20

The average number of points per starting player is calculated as:

8+12+ 16+19+20/5

= 75/5

= 15

Therefore, the average number of points per starting player = 15
