Question

Vicky did a survey to answer the following question: What is the average fitness score of grade 8 students? The mean fitness score was 3.2 points. If all the students scored the same, what would be the fitness score of each student?
A. Cannot be determined
B. Greater than 3.2 points
C. Less than 3.2 points
D. 3.2 points

Answer 1

The mean is calculated by adding up all of the data points and then dividing the sum by the amount of points added.

The mean fitness score was 3.2 points.  If all of the students scored the same thing (3.2 points) then this would be the fitness score of each student.

Thus, the answer is D. 3.2 points.
