Answer:
The writing score of each student is 3.8 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the mean writing score was 3.8 points. All the students scored the same. We are asked to find the writing score of each student.
We know that average of a data set is sum of all data points divided by number of data points.
Since each student scored same score, then the average of all students will be score of each student.
[tex]\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of scores}}{\text{Number of students}}[/tex]
Let us say that score of each student is x. As each student scored same, so:
[tex]3.8=\frac{x+x+x+x+x}{5}[/tex]
[tex]3.8=\frac{5x}{5}[/tex]
[tex]3.8=x[/tex]
Therefore, the writing score of each student is 3.8 points.
