To calculate: The mean and median scores of 30 students on the exam conducted by Professor Mitchell after correction.
The mean and median scores of 30 students on the exam conducted by Professor Mitchell after correction are 81.6 and 80.5 respectively.
Given:
The mean score obtained by 30 students in the exam is 81.3.
The median score obtained by 30 students in the exam is 80.5.
The top student deserves 9 extra points for a misgraded proof.
Concept used:
The mean and median are measures of central tendency, the mean is nothing but the average of all values and the median is the middle value of the data distribution in ascending order.
The mean is calculated using the formula
Calculation:
The top student deserves 9 extra points, with respect to mean value given the total sum of scores of all 30 students is calculated as shown below
The sum of all scores of all 30 students after correction
The mean score after correction is calculated as shown below
The median of the data of scores obtained by all students in the exam has no impact on changing the score of the top student as the middle value will still be 80.5. Thus the median after correction is 80.5.
Conclusion:
The mean score is 81.6 and the median score is 80.5. Thus option B is correct.

The growth of bacteria in food products makes it necessary to time-date some products (such as milk) so that they will be sold and consumed before the bacteria count is too high. Suppose for a certain product that the number of bacteria present is given by f(t)=5000.1 Under certain storage conditions, where t is time in days after packing of the product and the value of f(t) is in millions. The solution to word problems should always be given in a complete sentence, with appropriate units, in the context of the problem.
