Question

Football Use the information on the previous page along with the 2002 information below to determine if the team improved its turnover margin from 2001 to 2002. What was the team’s average points scored per game in 2002?

Short answer

The team’s average points scored per game in 2002 is $-1$.

Step-by-step solution

Step-1 – Apply the concept of quotient

When a number is divided by another number, it gives a resulting number. The number, that is divided is called dividend. The number, by which the dividend is divided is called divisor. And the resulting number found by division is known as quotient.

Step-2 – Given

Team’s performance in 2001 shown in below table

Step-3 – Explanation

Let, the takes Ball be $t$and gives Ball be $g$.

So, from the given data we can say that

2001 season:

$\begin{array}{c}t-g=(13+5)-(26+11)\\ =28-37\\ =-9\end{array}$

2002 season:

$\begin{array}{c}t-g=(7+12)-(25+12)\\ =19-37\\ =-18\end{array}$

Average points scored per game,

$\begin{array}{c}=\frac{-18}{18}\\ =-1\end{array}$

Therefore, the team’s average points scored per game in 2002 is $-1$.

Hence, the team’s average points scored per game in 2002 is $-1$.
