Output 7:

7.1 Find the mean, median and mode of the scores in a 20-item test in English of 10 Grade VII learners:
Student Score
A 15
B 10
C 20
D 17
E 14
F 12
G 12
H 7
I 9
J 6

Mean:

Formula: M = ΣX/N

Solution: M = 122/10
M = 12.20

Formula: Solution:
((N/2) – F) x ((N/2 – F)
Md = LL + Md = LL + xi

((10/2)-4)
Md = 11.50 + x2

Md = 11.50 + 1

Md = 12.50

12-13 2 (Modal Class)
14-15 2 fm-1
16-17 1
18-19 0
20-21 1

Formula: Solution:
fm - fm-1 fm - fm-1
Mo = LL + xw Mo = LL + xw
(fm - fm-1) + (fm - fm+1) (fm - fm-1) + (fm - fm+1)
10 - 1
Mo = 11.50 + x2
(10 - 1) + (10 + 2)
9
Mo = 11.50 + x2
9 + 12
9
Mo = 11.50 + x2
21

Mo = 11.50 + (0.43 x 2)

Mo = 11.50 + 0.86

Mo = 12.36
