Question

the table shows alejandros golf scores (relative to par) over a 4 - round tournament.

round	score (strokes)
2	-4
3
4	+3

what is alejandros cumulative score for the tournament?

Explanation:

Step1: Define the scores

Let the scores of round 1, 2, 3 and 4 be \(s_1 = + 2\), \(s_2=-4\), \(s_3\) (unknown but not needed as we can still calculate with given values), \(s_4 = + 3\).

Step2: Calculate cumulative score

The cumulative score \(S\) is the sum of the scores of all rounds. So \(S=s_1 + s_2+s_4=2+( - 4)+3\). First, \(2+( - 4)=2 - 4=-2\). Then \(-2 + 3=1\).
