The table above show the marks obtained in a given test.
Find the mean mark
Answer Details
To find the mean mark, we need to calculate the sum of all the marks obtained and divide it by the total number of students.
The sum of all the marks obtained can be found by multiplying each mark by its corresponding frequency and adding up the results. So,
sum of all marks = (1 x 2) + (2 x 2) + (3 x 8) + (4 x 4) + (5 x 4)
= 2 + 4 + 24 + 16 + 20
= 66
The total number of students can be found by adding up all the frequencies. So,
total number of students = 2 + 2 + 8 + 4 + 4
= 20
Therefore, the mean mark = (sum of all marks) / (total number of students)
= 66 / 20
= 3.3
Hence, the answer is 3.3.
