Answer :
Let's solve the problem step-by-step to determine the mean, median, mode, and midrange for the given class test scores.
First, let's list the scores provided:
[tex]\[ 88, 82, 97, 76, 79, 92, 65, 84, 79, 90, 75, 82, 78, 77, 93, 88, 95, 73, 69, 89, 93, 78, 60, 95, 88, 72, 80, 94, 88, 74 \][/tex]
### 1. Mean
To find the mean, add up all the scores and divide by the number of scores.
- Sum of scores = 2320
- Number of scores = 30
Mean = [tex]\(\frac{2320}{30} \approx 77.33\)[/tex]
### 2. Median
The median is the middle value when the scores are arranged in order. Since there are 30 scores, the median will be the average of the 15th and 16th scores in the ordered list.
Ordered scores:
[tex]\[ 60, 65, 69, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 78, 79, 79, 80, 82, 82, 84, 88, 88, 88, 88, 89, 90, 92, 93, 93, 94, 95, 95, 97 \][/tex]
15th score = 82
16th score = 82
Median = [tex]\(\frac{82 + 82}{2} = 82\)[/tex]
### 3. Mode
The mode is the score that appears most frequently.
From the ordered list, observe that 88 appears most often (4 times).
Mode = 88
### 4. Midrange
The midrange is the average of the maximum and minimum scores.
Minimum score = 60
Maximum score = 97
Midrange = [tex]\(\frac{60 + 97}{2} = 78.5\)[/tex]
Now we can compare these results with the given options:
- Mean ≠ 82.4 but closer to 77.33
- Median = 82
- Mode = 88
- Midrange = 78.5
From this, none of the given options perfectly matches all results. It might suggest that there could be an error in options as presented or a reconsideration of the steps might be needed. However, option D seems closest to our calculations in terms of structure and roundings (Mean discrepancy, but median, mode, and midrange align in concept).

15th score = 82
16th score = 82
