B yeah?

You just find the median of the last 5 values.

i'd say B as well,
i'm guessing you found the mean instead of median causing the confusion or something?
easy mistake to make.

speaking of easy mistakes in reference to exam 1, i keep dropping MULTIPLE marks from silly mistakes. and the silly mistake always results in one of the answers they have there to throw you off. resulting in major fail.
just can't win.

The final value of the smoothed data is the looking at the last 5 numbers on that table, and finding the median of those 5.
So the smallest number of those is december, and then november and then september, whereby the value is 155, therefore answer is B... make sense?

Aiming for 40+ but I'm scared about exam 1. I make sooo many silly mistakes and to get an A+ in exam one you need pretty much 36/40. Obviously its different every year but that seems around the mark.

Oh and last year a student in our school was ranked 13th in SACS and got 50 in further... so anything is possible, its all about the exams as if you do well, your SAC marks will get pushed up anyway.

I was so close on the 07 one lol, I got robbed because I didn't understand wth the question was saying.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine, we'll all be expecting your solutions after the exam btw :D
