Step 1 :To find the average aptitude score, we need to multiply each score by its frequency and sum those products.
Step 2 :The products are: \(0 \times 7 = 0\), \(1 \times 15 = 15\), \(2 \times 18 = 36\), \(3 \times 20 = 60\), \(4 \times 11 = 44\), \(5 \times 9 = 45\).
Step 3 :The sum of the products is \(0 + 15 + 36 + 60 + 44 + 45 = 200\).
Step 4 :The total number of students is \(7 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 11 + 9 = 80\).
Step 5 :The average aptitude score is the sum of the products divided by the total number of students: \(200 \div 80 = 2.5\).
Step 6 :The final answer is \(\boxed{2.5}\) points.
