anonymous · Answer

sry all the scores are " 82%, 76%, 75%, 85% and 97%

mertsj · Answer

75, 76, 82, 85, 97
There is no mode so that is out.  
The mean is 83 and the median is 82
The range has nothing to do with it so he  better go with the mean.

The range does exist and is 22. While not statistically out, selecting it as a representative score for a class grade would not be wise. :)
