It is apparent that everything Grade 6 and below has dripped out of my cold-plagued brain. Here's the problem.
Let's say I have a computer-based scoring system for an athletic event. For each competitor, each voter can enter one score (whole numbers 1 to 5). The total number of votes received is shown and the average score as well.
What I am curious about is how to determine how many 5s it would take to raise the average to a given level? That would be given the following:
- total number of voters to date
- average score at present
- desired average.
Insight would be appreciated, please and thanks.
