Activity You are working as a teaching assistant to a physics professor. He has provided you with the following data on exam scores for two different sections of his physics class: Section 1 Exam Scores: 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64 Section 2 Exam Scores: 99, 95, 90, 85, 77, 75, 75, 73, 70, 67, 66, 65, 63, 58, 52, 49, 48, 35, 28, 20 (a) Calculate the average score for each section and the rms average score for each section. (b) How do the average scores for the two sections compare? (c) Compare the average and rms average scores for Section 1. Why do you think these two quantities have this relationship? (d) Compare the average and rms average scores for Section 2. (e) Will the rms average of a set of numbers always be larger than the straight average? Why or why not?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) Calculate the average score for each section and the rms ave; (b) How do the average scores for the two sections compare?; (c) Compare the average and rms average scores for Section 1
