For each, Jim and Cindy, add up the scores and divide by the number of scores, that will give you the average (it's all calculator work, you don't need my help to work your calculator)

To find an average, you divide the total scores by the number of tests...
Jim ==> (83+95+76+90+72+84+65+75) / 8 = 80
Cindy ==> (80+70+75+80+93+80+86+89) / 8 = 81.625
Cindy's average is higher at 81.625.
