To pass an Examination consisting of four papers, candidates MUST score a mean mark of 40% or above and NOT less than 33% in each paper. The table below shows the marks for 3 students. Using the tables, which students passed the examination? Give reason(s).

Josephine

Step-by-step explanation:

2 criteria was given to pass an exam:

1. At least, a mean mark of 40% must be achieved in the exam consisting of 4 papers

2. Score at least, 33% in each paper.

From the table given, and considering these two criteria, James definitely didn't pass the examination. He scored below 33% in one of the 4 papers. James scored 30% in Maths

Calculated the mean score for John and Josephine to determine if they meet the first criteria of having at least a mean score of 40%.

Mean score of John = (35 + 36 + 42 + 44) ÷ 4 = 39.25%

Mean score for Josephine = (60 + 55 + 38 + 75) ÷ 4 = 57%

Josephine passed the examination because she had a mean score of 57%, and also scored 33% and above in each test.
