The test scores of 36 students are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. At most how many students' score can be the same if at least two students' score is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

Respuesta :

Answer: 34

If at least two students' scores must be the same, and there are only 5 possible scores (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5), then the maximum number of students who can have the same score is 36 - 2 = 34. This ensures that at least two students will have the same score, while still allowing for all 36 students to have a score from 1 to 5.
