if a student scores 58 in a maths exam predict the score they would get in science???

Question

Have no idea where to start on this answer other than having a good guess!!
Can anyone help please???
Thanks Andrew

Answer 1

If that's all of the information you have, then there is no reasonable answer.

Please double check to make sure you weren't given more information.

Answer 2

If a perfect score is 100, the student would probably do poorly in science as well. Math and science grades and skills tend tend be correlated

There is no way to provide a more quantitative answer than that.

Answer 3

oops sorry forgot the rest of the info:

14 students and their scores:

these are a random sample......
so if the kid gets 58 in maths how do you work out what his prdicted score will be in science??
thanks

Answer 4

Calculate the average and median for each sets of scores. How does 58 differ from the math scores? What do you think the science score might be?

Answer 5

to get the average do i add them all up and divide by the number of obsevations?
say
maths 646 divided by 14 = 46.1428
science 598 divided by 14 = 42.714
