Question

if you have an 88, a 95, a 93, and an 80, what do you need to make on the next quiz to have a mean quiz score of 90

Answer 1

You would need to make a 94 on the next quiz to have a mean quiz score of 90.

If 90 is the desired mean, then you have to multiply it by the number of quizzes

5 x 90 = 450 is the total in the 5 quizzes.

Now, add the scores of the first four quizzes.

88 + 95 + 93 + 80 = 356

Then, take the amount of the 5 quizzes and subtract it from the amount of the total 4 quizzes.

450 - 356 = 94
