Answer:

A: More than half of the scores were 85% or greater.

E: At least one score was exactly 85%

Explanation:

Here the 5 test would be taken in science so 85% would be the result of one of the test

Also 85% represent the median so it means there are 2 values more and 2 values less

So there are 3 results with 85% or greater

Hence, the option A and Option E is correc

And, the rest of the options are wrong
