Question

3) Catherine just finished a routine in a gymnastics contest. There were 7 judges and each judge

gave an integer score from 1 to 10. Catherine received a mean of 8. 0 from the 7 judges. However, if


the highest and lowest scores were removed, the mean of the 5 remaining scores would be 8. 2.


What was the lowest possible score that Catherine could have received?


Answer


Incorrect

Answer 1

7(8) - 5(8.2) = 56 - 41 = 15

The lowest possible score that Catherine could have received is 15 - 10 = 5.
