c.    \(21\)

 

d.    \(60\%\ \text{pass mark}\) \(=5\times \dfrac{60}{100}\)
    \(=3\)

 
\(\therefore\ 4+6+3 = 13\ \text{students passed the quiz}\)

 

e.    \(\text{Average score}\) \(=\dfrac{1\times 0+4\times 1+3\times 2+4\times 3+6\times 4+3\times 5}{21}\)
    \(=\dfrac{61}{21}\)
    \(=2.904\dots\approx 2.9\ \text{(1 d.p.)}\)
