Question

Lola wishes to compare the following data sets. Students of which grade performed better?

• A. Grade 6
• B. Grade 4
• C. Grade 5
• D. Grade 7

Answer 1

The correct option is A Grade 6

Let us first calculate the number of newspapers collected per student from each grade.
With this information, we can observe students of which grade performed better.

Number of newspapers collected per student from grade 4:$\frac{100}{4}$ = 25

Number of newspapers collected per student from grade 5:$\frac{85}{5}$ = 17

Number of newspapers collected per student from grade 6:$\frac{90}{3}$ = 30

Number of newspapers collected per student from grade 7:$\frac{62}{8}$ = 7.75

Thus, students of grade 6 performed the best.
