ACTIVITY 11: S.A.T. SCORES 2

Activity Overview:

New Reinforced:In this activity, you will practice how to:1. use the Average, Maximum, and Minimum

functions.2. sort data in descending order (Z-A).

This activity expands on the SAT SCORES spreadsheet created in Activity 10. In this activity, you will computethe average, maximum (highest), and minimum (lowest) critical reading, math, writing, and total S.A.T. scores andthen sort the total scores in descending order (highest to lowest).

NEW SKILL

1. Open the file SAT SCORES previously created in Activity 10.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, the font should be set to Arial,the font size to 10 point.

2. Change the Activity # in row 1 to read Activity 11.

3. Compute the AVERAGE, MAXIMUM, and MINIMUM formulas for column C, CRITICAL READING, as

follows:

a. In cell C47, type =AVERAGE(C10:C43)

b. In cell C48, type =MAX(C10:C43)

c. In cell C49, type =MIN(C10:C43)

d. Select cells C47 - C49 and use the AutoFill feature to copy the formulas to the

remaining MATH, WRITING, and TOTAL columns.

4. Format cells C47 - F49 as numbers displaying 0 decimal places.

5. Sort the spreadsheet by TOTAL S.A.T. scores (column F) from highest score to lowest score.To do

this, select cells A10 - F43 and sort in descending order (Z-A). Use the column "TOTAL" to Sort

by. Note: The student with the highest TOTAL score will appear on top and the student with

the lowest TOTAL score will appear at the bottom.

6. Display formulas in your spreadsheet by using <CTRL> +' to check for accuracy.

7. Carefully proofread your work for accuracy.

8. Save the spreadsheet as SAT SCORES 2.

9. Analyze the changes made to the data in the spreadsheet.

10. Set the Print Area to include all cells containing data in the spreadsheet.

11. Print Preview and adjust the Page Setup so that the spreadsheet fits on one page.

12. Print a copy of the spreadsheet if required by your instructor.
