Question

the basketball teams scoring range over the last season was between 90 and 120 points per game. which scale would be best suited for graphing this data to provide a detailed view of the scoring trends? choose the correct answer from the choices. a break between the origin and 80, then continue to 120, with increments of 5 0 to 300, with increments of 50 0 to 150, with increments of 30 0 to 130, with increments of 10

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• Option A: A break between the origin and 80, then continue to 120, with increments of 5. This can focus on the relevant range (90 - 120) and the increment of 5 allows for a detailed view.
• Option B: 0 to 300, with increments of 50. The range is too large (0 - 300) and the increment (50) is too big for showing details in the 90 - 120 range.
• Option C: 0 to 150, with increments of 30. The increment (30) is too big for showing details in the 90 - 120 range.
• Option D: 0 to 130, with increments of 10. While the range (0 - 130) is better than B and C, the increment (10) is larger than the 5 in Option A, so it is less detailed.

Answer:

A. A break between the origin and 80, then continue to 120, with increments of 5
