Make Estimations:
How many points are approximately scored during an NBA regular
season by all teams combined?

Parameters that May Contribute:

Average points per game for each team (PGT)
Teams competing per season (TC)
Total games that each team plays (GT)
Initial Assumption:
I assume that overall, the result would come out as something close to 200,000
Rough Estimates for Each Parameter:
𝑃𝐺𝑇 = 105 π‘π‘œπ‘–π‘›π‘‘π‘  π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿ π‘’π‘Žπ‘β„Ž π‘‘π‘’π‘Žπ‘š
𝑇𝐢 = 30 π‘‘π‘’π‘Žπ‘šπ‘  π‘π‘œπ‘šπ‘π‘’π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘”
𝐺𝑇 = 32 π‘”π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’π‘  π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿ π‘’π‘Žπ‘β„Ž π‘‘π‘’π‘Žπ‘š
Total points (TP) and Final Estimated:
𝑇𝑃 = 𝑃𝐺𝑇 × π‘‡πΆ × πΊπ‘‡
𝑇𝑃 = 105 × 30 × 82
𝑇𝑃 = 258,300
I estimate that there are approximately 258,300 points scored during an NBA regular season by
all teams combined.
My initial assumption, which I already thought was an exaggerated number, was 58,300 points
lower than the final calculated estimate.
