Answer 1

keyword: *average*

Answer 2

Hmm... Originally I was thinking they would want to show the most played to show it's overpaid, but we have no real data... Would we assume more are underpaid or overpaid?

Answer 3

if more underpaid then mean, if more overpaid than median

Answer 4

...i have no idea what you're talking about....are you omitting data?

Answer 5

We aren't given any set of data to show anything about players... If it's talking about AVG I don't know what they are... should I look them up or...? What I'ms aying is that it depends what the actual diagram shows.

Answer 6
