Step-by-step explanation:

Baylor University

6 players who each score 12 points per game

6 players who each score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,12,12,12,12,12,12

Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+12+12+12+12+12+12}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{12+0}{2}=6

University of Maryland

1 player scores 58 points per game,

1 player scores 14 points per game,

The rest(10) of the players score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,14,58

Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+14+58}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{0+0}{2}=0

Dartmouth College

4 players score 5 points per game,

4 players score 6 points per game,

4 players score 7 points per game.

The Scores are: 5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7

Mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+7+7+7+7}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{6+6}{2}=6

The following applies:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

AI generated Answer

A and B are correct. At Dartmouth, the mean number of points per player per game (666) is greater than the median number of points per player per game (666). At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game (144.5) is greater than the median number of points per player per game (0). Therefore, C is incorrect, as the median number of points per player per game is not the same at all three schools. D is also incorrect, as the means are different at all three schools.
