A gymnast received the following scores from 5 judges in the state competition.
floor:8.8, 9.3, 8.1, 8.9, 9.5
bars: 7.6, 8.2, 8.5, 8.2, 8.9
vault: 9.5, 8.9, 9.4, 9.5, 9.0
beam: 8.4, 8.5, 8.4, 7.9, 8.7
Her score for each event is found by computing the average after the high and low scores are thrown out and the average is rounded to the nearest hundreth.
4 What was her score on each event?
Floor:___ bars:____ vault:___ beam:___
4 What was her worst event? ____
4 What was her best event?_______
4 What was her total score for the day, all 4 events combined?______
WOW!?!?!??! WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED?!?!!? other people have their questions to answer too...sheesh!!! STOP POSTING QUESTIONS!!!
Floor 9
Bars 8.3
Vault 9.15 (I threw out both high scores since they were the same number)
Beam 8.43
Worst event is bars
Best event is vault
total score for the day (sum of all scores) is 34.88
Hey there! Sorry if I overwhelmed you with all those questions, but hey, I'm just here to help! Now, let's get to the fun part of answering those questions.
Floor: Looks like the average score for floor after throwing out the highest and lowest scores is 9.
Bars: After doing some calculations, the average score for bars is 8.3.
Vault: The average score for vault, after tossing out the highest and lowest scores, is 9.15. Well, that's quite a leap!
Beam: For beam, the average score is 8.43.
Worst event? Oh, it seems like bars was her worst event. Guess her gymnastics skills were hanging by a thread!
Best event? Vault takes the crown as her best event. She really soared through the competition!
Now, for the total score of the day. When we add up all the individual event scores, we get a grand total of 34.88. Quite impressive, I must say!
I hope I managed to entertain you while answering your questions. If you have any more, feel free to ask!
I apologize if the number of questions seemed overwhelming. Here are the answers step-by-step:
To find the score for each event, we need to calculate the average after throwing out the high and low scores.
Floor:
The highest score is 9.5 and the lowest score is 8.1. We need to remove these two scores and calculate the average of the remaining three scores. The sum of the remaining scores is 8.8 + 8.9 + 9.3 = 27. We divide this sum by 3 to get an average of 9.
Bars:
The highest score is 8.9 and the lowest score is 7.6. We need to remove these two scores and calculate the average of the remaining three scores. The sum of the remaining scores is 8.2 + 8.2 + 8.5 = 24.9. We divide this sum by 3 to get an average of 8.3.
Vault:
The highest score is 9.5 and the lowest score is 8.9. We need to remove these two scores and calculate the average of the remaining three scores. The sum of the remaining scores is 9.0 + 9.4 = 18.4. We divide this sum by 2 to get an average of 9.2.
Beam:
The highest score is 8.5 and the lowest score is 7.9. We need to remove these two scores and calculate the average of the remaining three scores. The sum of the remaining scores is 8.4 + 8.4 + 8.7 = 25.5. We divide this sum by 3 to get an average of 8.5.
Therefore, her scores on each event are as follows:
Floor: 9
Bars: 8.3
Vault: 9.2
Beam: 8.5
To determine her worst event, we need to find the event with the lowest score. In this case, bars has the lowest score of 8.3.
To determine her best event, we need to find the event with the highest score. In this case, vault has the highest score of 9.2.
To calculate her total score for the day, we simply add up all her scores: 9 + 8.3 + 9.2 + 8.5 = 34.8.
To calculate the gymnast's score for each event, we need to find the average after the high and low scores are thrown out. Here's how you can do it:
1. For the floor event, the scores are: 8.8, 9.3, 8.1, 8.9, 9.5
- Remove the lowest score: 8.1
- Remove the highest score: 9.5
- Calculate the average of the remaining scores: (8.8 + 9.3 + 8.9) / 3 = 9.00 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
2. For the bars event, the scores are: 7.6, 8.2, 8.5, 8.2, 8.9
- Remove the lowest score: 7.6
- Remove the highest score: 8.9
- Calculate the average of the remaining scores: (8.2 + 8.5 + 8.2) / 3 = 8.30 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
3. For the vault event, the scores are: 9.5, 8.9, 9.4, 9.5, 9.0
- Remove the lowest score: 8.9
- Remove the highest score: 9.5
- Calculate the average of the remaining scores: (9.4 + 9.0) / 2 = 9.20 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
4. For the beam event, the scores are: 8.4, 8.5, 8.4, 7.9, 8.7
- Remove the lowest score: 7.9
- Remove the highest score: 8.7
- Calculate the average of the remaining scores: (8.4 + 8.5 + 8.4) / 3 = 8.43 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
So the gymnast's scores for each event are as follows:
Floor: 9.00
Bars: 8.30
Vault: 9.20
Beam: 8.43
To determine the worst event, you can compare the scores for each event and find the lowest one. In this case, the lowest score is 8.30 for bars.
To determine the best event, you can compare the scores for each event and find the highest one. In this case, the highest score is 9.20 for vault.
Finally, to calculate the total score for the day, you can add up the scores for all four events:
Total score = 9.00 (floor) + 8.30 (bars) + 9.20 (vault) + 8.43 (beam) = 34.93 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
So the gymnast's total score for the day, across all four events, is 34.93.
