The student retakes the third test and scores a 95 on the attempt to replace their 80 score what is the impact on the students median test score
To determine the impact on the student's median test score, we need to know the total number of tests taken and the scores of the other tests. Without this information, we cannot accurately determine the impact on the median test score.
To determine the impact on the student's median test score, we would need to consider all the test scores, including the retaken test. Let's calculate the median test score before and after the retake:
Before:
Test Scores: 80, X, Y
After:
Test Scores: 95, X, Y
To calculate the median, we need to arrange the test scores in ascending order:
Before:
Sorted Test Scores: 80, X, Y
After:
Sorted Test Scores: 95, X, Y
Since there are an odd number of scores, the median is the middle value.
Before:
Median Test Score: X
After:
Median Test Score: X
As the retaken test score (95) is not part of the median calculation, the student's median test score remains unchanged by retaking the third test.
