Answer:
1: The highest score is 98, the lowest score is 74.
2: 55% of the scores are greater than 84
Explanation:
Solution 1-1:
Starting from the top left and going from left to right row by row we compare the largest number we come across with the current number we are inspecting.
Starting with 92 then we look at 88, 92 is greater than 88 so we keep 92, next is 95, 95 is greater than 92 so we keep 95, next is 74, 95 is greater than 74 so we keep 95 and so on until we have compared all of the numbers. We are left with 98
Solution 1-2:
Using a similar method to finding the greatest number we go through the list of numbers in search of the smallest number. Starting with 92 we then look at 88, 88 is less than 92 so we keep 88. Next is 95, 88 is less than 95 so we keep 88. Then 74, 74 is less than 88 so we keep 74 and so on. We are left with 74
Solution 2:
There is a total of 20 numbers in the table. By comparing the numbers in the table to 84, we can determine that 11 numbers are greater than 84.
By dividing 11 by 20 we get 0.55 which is equal to 55%
