During a semester, a student received scores of 76, 80, 83,
71, 80, and 78 on six tests. What is the student's average
score for these six tests?
To find the student's average score for these six tests, you need to sum up all the scores and then divide by the total number of tests.
Step 1: Add up all the scores
76 + 80 + 83 + 71 + 80 + 78 = 468
Step 2: Divide the sum by the total number of tests
Since there are 6 tests, divide the sum by 6:
468 / 6 = 78
So, the student's average score for these six tests is 78.
