1. Mean:
X = 327

= 10.9

2. Median:
(a) Median location: n
= 30

= 15

(b) The median location is at 10 12.

Lm = 9.5
f m-1 = 0 + 0 + 8 = 8
f m = 15

(c) Median score :

X=

3. Mode:
(a) The highest frequency is 15, so the modal class is 10-12.
Lm = 9.5
1 = 7
2 = 8
C=3

(b) Mode/Modal scores:

X=
