In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 86 on an achievement test. With the exception of a few students who scored 46, the remaining students scored 77. Which of the following statements is true about the distribution of scores

B. The mean is less than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say there was 20 kids: 10 kids(half) scored 86's, 3 kids(a few) scored 45's, and 7 kids(the remaining) scored 77's.

The median would be- 81.5 (chronological order, find the middle number)

The mean would be- 76.85 (sum of all the scores divided by the number of scores)

The mode would be- 86 (most frequent number)

The mean(76.85) is less than(<) the median(81.5)

a is 8.b is 10.c is 10.5. d is -.5

step-by-step explanation:

just minus the smallest number from the biggest.
