Organise the following marks in a class assessment, in a tabular form.

4, 6, 7, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 2, 6, 2, 5, 1, 9, 6, 5, 8, 4, 6, 7

(i) Which number is the highest?

(ii) Which number is the lowest?

(iii) What is the range of the data?

(iv) Find the arithmetic mean.

Answer 1

Marks	Tally marks	Frequency
1		1
2		2
3		1
4		3
5		5
6		4
7		2
8		1
9		1

(i) Highest number = 9

(ii) Lowest number = 1

(iii) Range = (9 − 1) = 8

(iv) Sum of all the observations = 4 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 6 + 2

+ 5 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 6 + 7

= 100

Total number of observations = 20
