Hey MaLouw, good to see you again.
Here are the solutions for the tasks:
Section A: Calculations
-
Average score for all students (no decimals):
Assume the scores are in columns C, D, E, and F, starting from row 2. The average score column will be G.
- Formula for Liam (S012) in cell G2:
=ROUND(AVERAGE(C2:F2),0)
- Calculations:
- Liam (S012): (55+53+50+58)/4=216/4=54. Rounded: 54
- Maria (S013): (72+70+68+75)/4=285/4=71.25. Rounded: 71
- Nthabiseng (S014): (81+85+79+80)/4=325/4=81.25. Rounded: 81
- Oliver (S015): (60+59+58+62)/4=239/4=59.75. Rounded: 60
- Priya (S016): (88+90+85+87)/4=350/4=87.5. Rounded: 88
- Quinn (S017): (47+49+46+44)/4=186/4=46.5. Rounded: 47
- Rudo (S018): (69+67+66+65)/4=267/4=66.75. Rounded: 67
- Sipho (S019): (52+50+48+54)/4=204/4=51. Rounded: 51
- Thabo (S020): (76+74+73+72)/4=295/4=73.75. Rounded: 74
-
Lowest score for all subjects:
Assume the scores are in the range C2:F10.
- Action: Merge cells A22:B22 and type "Lowest score". Left align the text.
- Formula:
=MIN(C2:F10)
- Result: The lowest score is 44.
-
Highest score for all subjects:
Assume the scores are in the range C2:F10.
- Action: Merge cells A23:B23 and type "Highest score". Left align the text.
- Formula:
=MAX(C2:F10)
- Result: The highest score is 90.
-
Grades Status column after "Average score" column:
Assume the "Average score" is in column G. The "Grades Status" column will be H.
- Formula for Liam (S012) in cell H2 (using IFS function):
=IFS(G2≥75,"Distinction",G2≥65,"Merit",G2≥50,"Pass",G2<50,"Fail")
- Grades Status for each student:
- Liam (Average 54): Pass
- Maria (Average 71): Merit
- Nthabiseng (Average 81): Distinction
- Oliver (Average 60): Pass
- Priya (Average 88): Distinction
- Quinn (Average 47): Fail
- Rudo (Average 67): Merit
- Sipho (Average 51): Pass
- Thabo (Average 74): Merit
Section B: Data Formatting
-
Format headers:
- Select the header row (e.g., A1:F1 or A1:H1 if average and status columns are added).
- Apply Bold formatting.
- Set Centre Align.
- Set Font size to 12pt.
-
Apply table design:
- Select the entire data range (including headers and all calculated columns).
- Go to "Format as Table" or "Table Design" options.
- Choose a Dark Green table style, such as "Table Style Medium 4" or any suitable green option.
-
Insert new row and title:
- Insert a new row above the first row of the existing data.
- In cell A1, type "BSc 1st year Final Marks".
- Set the Font size to 14pt.
- Apply Bold formatting.
- Merge and centre align cells A1 through I1.
Section C: Data Analysis
- Create a Column Chart "2D":
- Select Data: Highlight the "Name" column (B2:B10) and the four subject score columns (C2:F10) for the 9 students. (Assuming the 1st 10 students refers to all 9 students listed).
- Insert Chart: Go to the "Insert" tab in your spreadsheet software.
- Choose Chart Type: Select "Column Chart" and then choose the "2D Column" option.
- Customize (if needed): Ensure the chart displays student names on the horizontal axis and subject scores as columns.
