Answer:

85, 68, 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Average: The sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers

If the ratio of the scores is 5 : 4 : 3, let's just set it as 5x : 4x : 3x

Then using the definition of an average, we can write this equation.

(5x + 4x + 3x) / 3 = 68

Multiply both sides by 3.

5x + 4x + 3x = 68 * 3

Simplify.

12x = 204

x = 17

Now, substitute x = 17 into the original scores (5x, 4x, and 3x)

5x = 5 * 17 = 85

4x = 4 * 17 = 68

3x = 3 * 17 = 51

Just in case, let's check this answer. Find the average of the 3 test scores.

(85 + 68 + 51) / 3 =

204 / 3 = 68

Thus, the answers are correct

First we need to graph the given values.

there are total 16 data so x-value can be taken as 1,2,3,...,16

given values will be assigned as y-values as shown in attached table.

Now we just graph those points to see the type of skew.

From graph we see that points are very close and almost in the shape of a line. Lines seems to be moving upward when going to the right side.

Hence correct answer will be "positive skew".
