In a science test given to 10 students, the following marks [out of 100] are recorded as: 77, 43, 39, 56, 96, 47, 53, 45, 45, 55.
Find out the mean & median of the above marks.
Mean = sum of total observationsnumber of observations
Sum of total observations = 77 + 43 + 39 + 56 + 96 + 47 + 53 + 45 + 45 + 55 = 556
Total number of observation = 10
Mean = 55.6
For median arrange in ascending order
39, 43, 45, 45, 47, 53, 55, 56, 77, 96
Since even number of observation
So the median is the average of the (n2)thand (n2+1)thobservation
i.e 5th and 6th observation
=(47+532)
= 50
