Question

For students to work together on a science project for the annual district science fair. The student spent four months working on the project. It was decided that if there’s science fair, the students would each speak, and one of the following topics, introduction and hypothesis, methodology, data, conclusion, however, the students were unable to determine which category each of them would present. They decided to draw lots to make the decision. Use the table below, to record the score of each student. On the table sheet is Student one, two, three, four, five, six, draw one, draw two, draw three, total.

Answer 1

To record the scores of each student, you can use the table given, with columns labeled as "Student one, two, three, four, five, six, draw one, draw two, draw three, total." Here's how you can record the scores:

1. Assign a row for each student, like Student 1, Student 2, etc.
2. Start by recording the initial scores of the students in the respective columns. These scores depend on the result of the draw. Let's assume the scores are as follows:
- Student 1: 0
- Student 2: 0
- Student 3: 0
- Student 4: 0
- Student 5: 0
- Student 6: 0
- Draw 1: 1
- Draw 2: 2
- Draw 3: 3

3. Calculate the total score for each student by summing their initial score and the respective draw score. Enter the totals in the "total" column for each student. For example:
- Student 1: Initial score (0) + Draw 1 (1) = Total (1)
- Student 2: Initial score (0) + Draw 2 (2) = Total (2)
- Student 3: Initial score (0) + Draw 3 (3) = Total (3)
- Student 4: Initial score (0) + Draw 1 (1) = Total (1)
- Student 5: Initial score (0) + Draw 2 (2) = Total (2)
- Student 6: Initial score (0) + Draw 3 (3) = Total (3)

Your table should now have the initial scores, draw scores, and total scores for each student.

By following this process, you can record the scores for each student and determine the category they will present based on their total scores. The students with the highest total scores can choose their preferred category first, and the process can continue until all categories are assigned to the students.
