The table shown gives the marks scored by a group of student in a test. Use the table to answer the question given.
Mark 0 1 2 3 4 5
Frequency 1 2 7 5 4 3
What is the median mark?
A.
1
B.
2
C.
3
D.
4
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation
Total frequency = 1 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 22
Median is the middle number
= Nth/2
term = 22th/2
= 11th term
Going in ascending order, 11th term is 3, going in descending order 11th term is 3
Median = 3 + 3/2 = 6/2 = 3
Total frequency = 1 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 22
Median is the middle number
= Nth/2
term = 22th/2
= 11th term
Going in ascending order, 11th term is 3, going in descending order 11th term is 3
Median = 3 + 3/2 = 6/2 = 3
