Each test has a passing score of $60/100$. Since Nelson's test average is at least $60/100$, he manages to pass the class. If only nonnegative integer scores are attainable on each test, and Nelson gets a di erent score on every test, compute the largest possible ratio of tests failed to tests passed. Assume that for each test, Nelson either passes it or fails it, and the maximum possible score for each test is 100.
