Question

Tammy did a survey to answer the following question: what is the average reading score of grade 6 students?

The mean reading score was 4.5 points. If all the students scored the same, what would be reading score of each student?

A. 4.5 points
B. Less then 4.5 points
C.greater then 4.5 points
D.cannot be determined

Answer 1

A or 4.5

Explanation:

cause mean and average are the same

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

The mean/average is the sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers.

It is given that mean is 4.5 points. At this point, it means that there might be students scoring less than 4.5 and students scoring greater than 4.5 BUT the average comes to be 4.5.

BUT SINCE IT IS GIVEN THAT EACH STUDENT SCORED THE SAME, the only way that this can be true is when EVERY STUDENT SCORES 4.5. This way, the AVERAGE/MEAN will be 4.5

Hence, the correct answer is A.
