Question

in science class, the average score on a lab report is 87 points, with all students scoring within 1.8 points of the average. if x represents a student's score, write an equation that represents the minimum and maximum scores. |x − 87|

Answer 1

The equation representing the minimum and maximum scores |x-87| = 1.8

Given that the average score on a lab report is 87 points. All students score within 1.8 points of the average.

Let 'x' be the score of student. The maximum and minimum score of a student lies within 1.8 points of the average.

Then, maximum score of a student, x = 87+1.8

and minimum score of a student, x = 87-1.8

Combining these two equations, we get, x = 87 ±1.8

Or, more conveniently, |x-87| = 1.8 represents the minimum and maximum scores obtained by a student.
