To find the minimum score that Michael needs on his last quiz for his mean quiz grade to be an 85% or above, we can use the formula for calculating the mean:
Mean = (sum of all quiz scores) / (number of quizzes)
Given the following quiz scores:
Quiz 1: 80%
Quiz 2: 90%
Quiz 3: 85%
Quiz 4: 88%
Quiz 5: ?
We can calculate the sum of all quiz scores:
80 + 90 + 85 + 88 = 343
Now we need to find the minimum score Michael needs on his last quiz:
Mean = (343 + Quiz 5) / 5
85 = (343 + Quiz 5) / 5
425 = 343 + Quiz 5
Quiz 5 = 425 - 343
Quiz 5 = 82%
Therefore, Michael needs to score a minimum of 82% on his last quiz for his mean quiz grade to be an 85% or above.
