A class of 27 students had a mean of 83 on a math quiz. The 12 girls in the class had a mean of 80.5 on the quiz. What was the mean of the boys’ scores?
a. 77
b. 77.5
c. 85
d. 85.5
It would most likely have to be above 83 to bring the average down, so A and B are out. It would most likely be D, since it would equally be 5 between 80.5 and 85.5 to get an even 83.
