Answer :

Using the given information, the diver's score is 6.2

Calculating average score

From the question, we are to calculate the diver's score

From the given information,

The five judges score a dive as 6.0, 6.3, 6.2, 6.8, and 6.1.

Since the highest and lowest scores are discarded

Then, we will discard 6.8 and 6.0

The remaining scores are 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3

Now, the diver's score will be the average of the remaining scores

∴ The diver's score = (6.1 + 6.2 + 6.3) /3

The  diver's score = 18.6 / 3

The diver's score = 6.2

Hence, the diver's score is 6.2
