Ashton Humphrey · Answer 1

First off, it would not be C because there are no guidelines to score too high on a test

Then, D would also be wrong because since he scored high, it doesn't just mean that the test was easy.

Now it comes to the yes or no between A and B, since he is just one of the many students in Trigonometry, it cant be a very accurate representation therefore the answer to the problem would be A

Solution: A. No, because Mark is not representative of the population of the trigonometry class
