Team A and B love to play pickup basketball. There are no fouls and no three-pointers, so all shots are worth 2 points.The only problem is Team A always wins. They typically play games to 100 and Team B loses by 10 points. That is, the typical final score is Team A 100, Team B 90.So, they decide to increase the point value of each basket for Team B to 2.2 points. Based on the typical results above, what effect is this most likely to have?The teams will tend to score the exact same number of points.Team A will still tend to win, by 1 point instead of 10.Team B will now tend to win by a margin of 1 point.Team B will now tend to win by 10 points.
