Question

here are the test scores for 8 students in mr. bs class.
58, 82, 43, 73, 90, 37, 62, 75
what is the percentage of these test scores that are less than 73?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scores less than 73

Check each score: 58 (less), 82 (more), 43 (less), 73 (not less), 90 (more), 37 (less), 62 (less), 75 (more). So scores less than 73: 58, 43, 37, 62. Count: 4.

Step2: Calculate percentage

Total scores: 8. Percentage = $\frac{\text{Number of scores < 73}}{\text{Total scores}} \times 100\%$ = $\frac{4}{8} \times 100\%$ = 50%.

Answer:

50%
