Question

Can anyone please help me with 8th grade math? I will give BRAIN!!!

Answer 1

The given percentage scores are:

80 , 92 , 91 , 75 , 89 , 84 , 0 , 85

A. Calculate the average

So, the average = (sum of the scores)/(number of the scores)

Sum of the scores = 80 + 92 + 91 + 75 + 89 + 84 + 0 + 85 = 596

The number of the scores = 8

So,

The average = 596/8 = 74.5%

Does the average score really represent her abilities ?

No, because there is outlier which is ( 0 ) which mean it may be absent this test

the other scores are within 75 and 92

Which mean the average is less than the reasonable minimum score

====================================================================

B. Brandee received 78% at the missed test

so, we will find the new mean:

The new sum of the scores = 80 + 92 + 91 + 75 + 89 + 84 + 78 + 85 = 674

The new mean = 674/8 = 84.25%

====================================================================

C. What different did 0% score make ?

So, 0% give us not accurate representation of the student abilities

Does this new mean represent her abilities accurately ?

Yes
