Question
The distribution, given below, shows the marks obtained by 25 students in an aptitude test. Find the mean, median and mode of the distribution.
| Marks obtained | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| No. of students | 3 | 9 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
Solution
| Marks obtained (x) | No. of student (f) | c.f | fx |
| 5 | 3 | 3 | 15 |
| 6 | 9 | 12 | 54 |
| 7 | 6 | 18 | 42 |
| 8 | 4 | 22 | 32 |
| 9 | 2 | 24 | 18 |
| 10 | 1 | 25 | 10 |
| Total | 25 | 171 |
Number of terms = 25
Mean = `171/25` = 6.84
Median = `(25 + 1^("th"))/2 "term"`
= 13th term
= 7
Mode = 6 as it has maximum frequencies i.e. 6
