Ms. Kendall gave a quiz to her Algebra 2 students. After she graded the quizzes, she asked 10 of her students how long, in minutes, they had studied for the quiz. Their responses and scores on the quiz are in the table below.

| 2 | 10 | 52 |
| 3 | 15 | 66 |
| 4 | 20 | 84 |
| 5 | 20 | 61 |
| 6 | 60 | 100 |
| 7 | 25 | 94 |
| 8 | 15 | 80 |
| 9 | 0 | 72 |
| 10 | 35 | 90 |
