Question

Miss Jones gives a class test the test is out of 40 marks here are the scores 31 32 29 20 35 32 the pass mark for the test is 75% how many students passed the test

Answer 1

Four students passed Miss Jones' class test by scoring at or above the pass mark of 30 out of 40 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many students passed Miss Jones' class test, we first need to calculate the pass mark in terms of actual marks rather than a percentage. The test is out of 40 marks, and the pass mark is 75%. Therefore, to pass, a student must score at least 75% of 40 marks.

We calculate the actual pass mark as follows:
(75/100) × 40 = 30 marks

Now, we compare each student's score to the pass mark to see if they passed:

• 31 (Passed)
• 32 (Passed)
• 29 (Failed)
• 20 (Failed)
• 35 (Passed)
• 32 (Passed)

In total, four students scored at or above the pass mark of 30 marks and therefore passed the test.
