Answer 1

The correct answer would be A) 80 because if we organize all the tests scores from smallest numbers to biggest, and cross out numbers from each side, and keep going till one is left, we see 80 is the last number in the middle. *below is a image of my work.

Answer 2

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

95, 85, 75, 90, 70, 95, 85, 80, 75, 95, 70, 80, 65 becomes

65, 70, 70, 75, 75, 80, 80, 85, 85, 90, 95, 95, 95

The Median is the number in the middle:

80 is your answer
