Question

the graph below shows the numbers of wins by a basketball team over six years. (a) what was the least number of wins in a year? wins (b) when did the number of wins have the greatest increase? 2018 to 2019 2019 to 2020 2020 to 2021 2021 to 2022 2022 to 2023

Explanation:

Step1: Find the least number of wins

Looking at the graph, the lowest point (minimum value) on the vertical - axis (number of wins) is at 2020. The value at 2020 is 24.

Step2: Calculate the increase in wins for each period

• 2018 - 2019: \(34 - 26=8\)
• 2019 - 2020: \(26 - 24 = 2\) (decrease)
• 2020 - 2021: \(32-24 = 8\)
• 2021 - 2022: \(32-28 = 4\) (decrease)
• 2022 - 2023: \(30 - 28=2\)

Answer:

(a) 24
(b) 2020 to 2021
