1. **State the problem:** Lisa took 4 chemistry tests with an arithmetic mean of 82. She then scores 97 on her 5th test. We need to find the new arithmetic mean for all five exams.
2. **Recall the formula for arithmetic mean:**
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all scores}}{\text{Number of tests}}$$
3. **Calculate the total sum of the first 4 tests:**
Since the mean of the first 4 tests is 82,
$$\text{Sum of first 4 tests} = 4 \times 82 = 328$$
4. **Add the 5th test score:**
$$\text{New total sum} = 328 + 97 = 425$$
5. **Calculate the new mean for all 5 tests:**
$$\text{New mean} = \frac{425}{5} = 85$$
6. **Answer:** The arithmetic mean for all five exams is **85**.
