A professional training program evaluated nine participants on five

Question

A professional training program evaluated nine participants on five assessments. Letter grades of A, B, C, D, and E represent numerical scores of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. Each participant’s overall grade was determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of the five numerical scores and rounding the result to the nearest whole number. If the average was exactly halfway between two whole numbers, it was rounded up. The rounded score was then converted back to the corresponding letter grade.

Official Solution:

• Every participant who received an A on the final exercise received either an A or a B on the technical assessment.

Sort by the  Final exercise  column and look at the participants who received an A. These are Celine, Diego, and Greta.

Now check their  Technical  grades. They received A, B, and B, respectively.

Therefore, each received either an A or a B on the technical assessment.

Answer:  Yes .

• No participant who received an E on any assessment earned an overall grade of A or B.

The participants who received an E are Farid and Greta.

For Farid, the numerical scores are:

3, 1, 4, 5, 3

The average is:

(3 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 3)/5 = 3.2

This rounds to 3, so Farid’s overall grade is C.

For Greta, the numerical scores are:

1, 4, 5, 3, 5

The average is:

(1 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 5)/5 = 3.6

This rounds to 4, so Greta’s overall grade is B.

Thus, Greta received an E on one assessment but still earned an overall grade of B.

Answer:  No .

• Every participant who received an A on at least two assessments earned an overall grade of A or B.

The participants who received at least two A grades are Amira, Bruno, Celine, Diego, and Greta.

Their averages are:

Amira: 21/5 = 4.2
Bruno: 21/5 = 4.2
Celine: 21/5 = 4.2
Diego: 19/5 = 3.8
Greta: 18/5 = 3.6

Each average rounds to 4, corresponding to an overall grade of B.

Therefore, every participant who received an A on at least two assessments earned an overall grade of A or B.

Answer:  Yes .
