In a mathematics test given to $15$ students,the following marks (out of $100$) are recorded:
$41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60$
Find the mean,median,and mode of this data.
$41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60$
Find the mean,median,and mode of this data.
(N/A) The marks of $15$ students in the mathematics test are:
$41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60$
$1.$ Mean of data = (Sum of all observations) / (Total number of observations)
$= (41 + 39 + 48 + 52 + 46 + 62 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60) / 15$
$= 822 / 15 = 54.8$
$2.$ Arranging the scores in ascending order:
$39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98$
Since the number of observations $n = 15$ (which is odd),the median is the value of the $((n+1)/2)^{\text{th}}$ observation.
Median = $((15+1)/2)^{\text{th}} = 8^{\text{th}}$ observation.
The $8^{\text{th}}$ observation is $52$.
$3.$ Mode is the observation with the maximum frequency.
Here,$52$ appears $3$ times,which is the highest frequency.
Therefore,the mode is $52$.
$41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60$
$1.$ Mean of data = (Sum of all observations) / (Total number of observations)
$= (41 + 39 + 48 + 52 + 46 + 62 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60) / 15$
$= 822 / 15 = 54.8$
$2.$ Arranging the scores in ascending order:
$39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98$
Since the number of observations $n = 15$ (which is odd),the median is the value of the $((n+1)/2)^{\text{th}}$ observation.
Median = $((15+1)/2)^{\text{th}} = 8^{\text{th}}$ observation.
The $8^{\text{th}}$ observation is $52$.
$3.$ Mode is the observation with the maximum frequency.
Here,$52$ appears $3$ times,which is the highest frequency.
Therefore,the mode is $52$.

The following table gives the distribution of students of two sections according to the marks obtained by them:
Marks (Section $A$) Frequency (Section $A$) Marks (Section $B$) Frequency (Section $B$) $0-10$ $3$ $0-10$ $5$ $10-20$ $9$ $10-20$ $19$ $20-30$ $17$ $20-30$ $15$ $30-40$ $12$ $30-40$ $10$ $40-50$ $9$ $40-50$ $1$
Represent the marks of the students of both the sections on the same graph by two frequency polygons. From the two polygons,compare the performance of the two sections.

View Solution$A$ teacher wanted to analyze the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of $100$ marks. Looking at their performances,she found that a few students got under $20$ marks and a few got $70$ marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: $0-20, 20-30, ..., 60-70, 70-100$. Then she formed the following table:
Marks Number of students $0-20$ $7$ $20-30$ $10$ $30-40$ $10$ $40-50$ $20$ $50-60$ $20$ $60-70$ $15$ $70-100$ $8$ Total $90$
$A$ histogram for this table was prepared by a student as shown in Fig. Carefully examine this graphical representation. Do you think that it correctly represents the data?
