Question

In a mathematics test, the following marks were obtained by $40$ students of class VI. Arrange these marks in a table using tally marks.

$$\begin{gathered} 9248766553 \\ 51064827638 \\ 84953910697 \\ 85671075577 \end{gathered}$$

How many students obtained marks below $5$?

Answer 1

Step 1: Preparing the table using tally marks

We prepare a table using tally marks as below:

Step 2: Finding the number of students who obtained marks below $5$

The number of students who scored marks equal to $4=3$

The number of students who scored marks equal to $3=3$

The number of students who scored marks equal to $2=2$

The number of students who scored marks below $5=2+3+3=8$

Hence, $8$ students scored marks below $5$
