SOUND LEVEL, MEASURED IN DECIBELS Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sun. 99 100 104 111 117 119 111

The table above shows the decibel levels of music being played at a popular nightclub during a typical week. If A represents the median decibel level, C represents the aver- age (arithmetic mean) of the seven decibel measurements, and W represents the decibel level that occurs most often, which expression under the coded red message below is true?

S A I Q O P D W J C P K C A P D

A N K N I K O P W O O Q N A Z

H U S A S E H H D W J C O A

L W N W P A H U.

1. C =A 2. W > A 3. A + W = C 4. W = A 5. C = W

Based on your answer, decrypt the red message above. Hint: If your answer was 1, then it is also true that A=Y. If your answer was 2, then W=Y. If 3, then A=Z. If 4, then Y=C. If 5, then A=U. Clue 10) A BridgeToo Far…
