The mean test scores for each student before the latest test are as follows:
Jose: (91+93+97+96+96+96)/6 = 95.5
Theo: (84+88+81+85+77+76)/6 = 82.8
Dana: (68+74+83+80+81+82)/6 = 78
Ara: (100+98+99+97+100+100)/6 = 98.3
After getting 100% on the latest test, the new mean test scores for each student would be:
Jose: (91+93+97+96+96+96+100)/7 = 94.9
Theo: (84+88+81+85+77+76+100)/7 = 83.3
Dana: (68+74+83+80+81+82+100)/7 = 82.7
Ara: (100+98+99+97+100+100+100)/7 = 99.1
Therefore, Ara's mean test score will increase the most from 98.3 to 99.1.
