- Task-1. A professor at a university is wishing to determine whether his introductory statistics class has a good grasp of basic math or not. For this purpose, he chooses six students from his class and gives them a math proficiency test. To have a good grip of basic maths, the professor wants the class score above 70 marks on the test.
