Question

the bar graph to the right shows the final scores of selected golfers from a tournament. use this graph to answer the question below. find the average of the scores for player b, player c, player d, and player p. (hint: here, the average is the sum of the scores divided by the number of players.) the average is \boxed{}. (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify each player's score

From the bar graph:

• Player B's score: $-6$
• Player C's score: $-3$
• Player D's score: $0$
• Player P's score: $1$

Step2: Calculate the sum of the scores

Sum = $(-6) + (-3) + 0 + 1$
$= -6 - 3 + 0 + 1$
$= -9 + 1$
$= -8$

Step3: Calculate the average

Number of players = $4$
Average = $\frac{\text{Sum}}{\text{Number of players}} = \frac{-8}{4}$
$= -2$

Answer:

$-2$
