Question 50
Measures of Central TendencyThe table below gives the scores of a group of students in a Mathematics test.
Score: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Frequency: 2, 4, 7, 14, 12, 6, 4, 1
If the mode is m and the number of students who scored 4 or less is s, what is (s, m)?
- A.(27, 4)
- B.(14, 4)
- C.(13, 4)
- D.(4, 4).
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A ((27, 4))
Explanation
The score 4 has the highest frequency (14), so m = 4. Students scoring 4 or less: 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 27, so s = 27.
