Question

In an examination given to a class of 20 students, the following test scores were obtained.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = 75

Median = 80

Mode = 85

The mode

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

45 45 50 50 55 60 70 75 75 80 80 85 85 85 85 90 95 95 95 100

Rearranged data :

45, 45, 50, 50, 55, 60, 70, 75, 75, 80, 80, 85, 85, 85, 85, 90, 95, 95, 95, 100

The mean score :

ΣX / n ; n = sample size = 20

ΣX = 1500

Mean = 1500 / 20 = 75

Mode = most frequently occurring = 85 ( frequency of 4)

Median = 0.5(n + 1)th term

Median = 0.5(20 + 1)th term

Median = 0.5(21) th term

Median = 10.5th term = (10 + 11)th term / 2

Median = (80 + 80) / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

2.) The mode
