Question

Here are the test scores for 15 students in Mr. M's class.

96, 85, 59, 63, 76, 68, 94, 97, 89, 100, 93, 96, 72, 46, 78
What is the percentage of these test scores that are less than 90?

Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

If you look through the data, it is clear that 46, 59, 63, 68, 72, 76, 78, 85, and 89 are all less than 90. There are 9 elements total that are less than 90.

For percentages, you take the number you have and divide by the total. Since we know that there are 15 students, we can do 9 / 15. This gives us 0.6 which is 60%
