9.0.........9.2..........9.4.........9.6..^...9.8........10.0

Contestants on "Gauss Reality TV" are rated by an applause metre. In the diagram, the arrow for one of the contestants is pointing to a rating closest to:

$\text{(A)}\ 9.4 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 9.3 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 9.7 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 9.9 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 9.5$

Solution

Since the arrow is pointing between $9.6$ and $9.8$, it is pointing to a rating closest to $9.7$.

The answer is $\fbox{C}$.
