if the average score for the 25 students was 75, then the total score for all students had to be 25 * 75 = 1875.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the average score for the 15 female students was 70, then the total score for the female students had to be 15 * 70 = 1050.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the total score for the male students had to be 1875 - 1050 = 825.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since there were 10 male students, then their average score had to be 825 / 10 = 82.5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that should be selection c.\r
