The answer is the median m = 117.5.

Explanation:
let's calculate the three central tendency measures:
- mean = μ = (<span>22 + 114 + 115 + 120 + 122 + 125) / 6 = 103

- median = m: we have 6 values, therefore the median will be the average between the third and the fourth value:
</span><span>22 114 115 | 120 122 125
m = (115 + 120) / 2 = 117.5

- mode: all the values appear only once, therefore the mode is not applicable.

Since our values are not symmetrically distributed (we have 22 which differs a lot from the other values), the median should be preferred than the mean as best central tendency measure.

Hey there,
There are 2 ways
1st way:
Since there are 8 5 point problems, 38 - 8 = 30, will give you the 2 point problems.

2nd way:
8 x 5 = 40
100 - 40 = 60
60 / 2 = 30
Thus there are 30, 2 point problems.

Hope this helps :))
