Comparing Total Scores of Math and Science

Medium Quantitative Comparisons Data Analysis

In a recent study of students' test scores in Math and Science, the following data was collected:

- 8 students scored an average of 75 in Math

- 8 students scored an average of 82 in Science

Consider the following:

Let $M$ be the total score of all the students in Math, and let $S$ be the total score of all the students in Science. The total scores can be computed using the formula:

$M = ext{average in Math} imes ext{number of students} = 75 imes 8$

$S = ext{average in Science} imes ext{number of students} = 82 imes 8$

If we compare the total scores, which statement is correct?
