Take note that:
Mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
Median is the number in the middle when you arrange the numbers from smallest to biggest.

Neil: 726 752 822
Mean: (726 + 752 + 822) /3 = 766.7
Median: 752

Paula: 634 732 771
Mean: (634 + 752 + 822) /3 = 712.3
Median: 732

Jeff: 721 754 760
Mean: (721 + 754 + 760) /3 = 745.0
Median: 754

Peter: 666 707 716
Mean: (666 + 707 + 716) /3 = 696.3
Median: 707

Therefore, the true statement is letter b. Neil has the highest mean score but Jeff has the highest median score.
