Exercise 3:
1. A panel of two judges A and B graded dramatic performances by independently awarding
marks as follows:
Performance No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Marks by A: 36 32 34 31 32 32 34
Marks by B: 35 33 31 30 34 32 36
The 8 performance, however, which judge B could not attend, got 38 marks by judge A.
th
If judge B had also been present, how many marks would he be expected to have awarded
to the eighth performance.
