Answer 1

Answer: 83.56

Explanation:

To calculate the mean score for all ninth graders in the city, we multiply the mean score test for each school by the number of months grade students and then add all together and divide by the total ninth grade students. This is solved below.

Mean = [(79 × 285) + (94 × 336) + (72 × 191)]/285+336+191

= (22515+31584+13752)/812

= 67851/812

= 83.56
