By examining the screenshot below, select the option that best indicates how to work out the average. Once you have worked out the average, also indicate whether the student achieved a distinction (>75%) or not.




=MEAN(B2:B6); the student did not get a distinction. 


=SUM(B2:B6/5); the student did get a distinction. 


=AVERAGE(B2-B6); the student did pass and get a distinction. 


=AVERAGE(B2:B6); the student did not get a distinction.

1 answer

The correct formula to calculate the average is =AVERAGE(B2:B6). Therefore, the best option is:

=AVERAGE(B2:B6); the student did not get a distinction.

In this case, you would need to check the actual values in the cells B2 to B6 to determine if the average is greater than 75% to confirm whether the student received a distinction or not.
