Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mean score is calculated by adding all the scores together and then dividing by the number of scores. The total is $71 + 67 + 67 + 72 + 76 + 72 + 73 + 68 + 72 + 72 = 700$. Dividing by 10 (the number of scores) gives a mean score of 70. However, since 70 is not an option and the calculation seems to have been misunderstood, recalculating accurately gives $71 + 67 + 67 + 72 + 76 + 72 + 73 + 68 + 72 + 72 = 710$, and $710 / 10 = 71$. Therefore, the correct mean score is 71.
