Norberto received the following scores on his last five spelling tests: 88,76,93,85

, and 98
. Which of the following statements is true?

1 answer

To determine which statement about Norberto's scores is true, let's first calculate the average score:

  1. Add the scores together: \( 88 + 76 + 93 + 85 + 98 = 440 \)

  2. Divide the total by the number of tests (5): \( \frac{440}{5} = 88 \)

Now, we can evaluate various statements that might be made about these scores:

  1. Norberto's average score is 88.
  2. His highest score was 98.
  3. His lowest score was 76.
  4. He scored above 90 on three tests.

Among these, the statement that can be conclusively labeled as true based on the calculations would include the average and highest/lowest score details. However, the third one, indicating how many tests had scores above 90, would need checking.

  • There are two scores above 90: 93 and 98.

If you have specific statements you're considering, please list them and I’d be happy to help you identify which is true!
