Answer 1

Answer:

Students level of knowledge is higher in accountancy  (Y) compared to statistics (X).

Step-by-step explanation:

The level of knowledge of the students in each subject can be known by comparing the mean score of the subjects.

Marks of the students in statistics (X) are: 63 64 62 32 30 60 47 46 35 28

mean = $\frac{63 +64+62+32+30+60+47+46+35+28}{10}$

          = $\frac{467}{10}$

          = 46.7

The mean mark of students in statistics (X) is 46.7.

Marks of students in accountancy (Y) are: 68 66 35 42 26 85 44 80 33 72

mean = $\frac{68+66+35+42+26+85+44+80+33+72}{10}$

         = $\frac{551}{10}$

         = 55.1

The mean mark of students in accountancy (Y) is 55.1.

It can be inferred that students level of knowledge is higher in accountancy  (Y) compared to statistics (X).
