The course grade in a statistics class is the average of the scores on five examinations. Suppose that a student's scores on the
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

84 is the highest possible course average

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of examinations = 5

Average = sum of scores in each examination/total number of examinations

Let the score for the last examination be x.

Average = (66+78+94+83+x)/5 = y

5y = 321+x

x = 5y -321

If y = 6, x = 5×6 -321 =-291.the student cannot score -291

If y = 80, x = 5×80 -321 =79.he can still score higher

If If y = 84, x = 5×84 -321 =99.This would be the highest possible course average after the last examination.

If y= 100

The average cannot be 100 as student cannot score 179(maximum score is 100)

Suppose Eric runs for 4 minutes and walks for 8 minutes how close is he to 1,600 meter goal?
jarptica [38.1K]
Hi there,

Since Eric ran 200 m/min for 4 minutes, then 4×200 = 800m
and he walked 80 m/min for 8 minutes, then 8×80 = 640m
and in total he ran 800 + 640 = 1440m 
so he still have 1600 - 1440 = 160m left to reach 1600m

Hope this helped :P
