Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

When a gymnast competes at the Olympics, each of six judges awards a score between 0 and 10. The highest and lowest scores are discarded, and the gymnast’s final mark is the average (arithmetic mean) of the remaining scores. What would be a gymnast’s mark if the judges’ scores were 9.6, 9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.2, and 9.6?

After discarding highest and lowest numbers the remaining numbers = 9.6, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6

Average = 9.6 + 9.4 + 9.5 + 9.6 4 = 38.1 4 = 9.525
