1 answer

To determine which statement about Norberto's spelling test scores is true, we can start by calculating some basic statistics, such as the average score, the maximum score, the minimum score, and the overall spread of scores.

  1. Scores: 93, 66, 78, 85, 98

  2. Maximum score: 98

  3. Minimum score: 66

  4. Average score:

    \[ \text{Average} = \frac{93 + 66 + 78 + 85 + 98}{5} = \frac{420}{5} = 84 \]

  5. Range:

    \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 98 - 66 = 32 \]

Based on this information, you can evaluate which of the following statements would be true:

  • Norberto's average score is lower than 85.
  • His highest score is 98.
  • His lowest score is 66.
  • The scores vary significantly, as evidenced by the range of 32.

Please provide potential statements, and I can help determine which one is true!
