diving - PS

by karthikpandian19 » Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:34 pm
In a certain diving competition, 5 judges
score each dive on a scale from 1 to 10.
The point value of the dive is obtained by
dropping the highest score and the lowest
score and multiplying the sum of the
remaining scores by the degree of
difficulty. If a dive with a degree of
difficulty of 3.2 received scores of 7.5,
8.0, 9.0, 6.0, and 8.5, what was the point
value of the dive?
(A) 68.8
(B) 73.6
(C) 75.2
(D) 76.8
(E) 81.6

9 is highest,6 is lowest drop them.Taking sum of reaming we have Sum =7.5 + 8.5 + 8 =24.
multiplying by 3.2 we have,
76.8 which is option D
