Explanation Given: In an examination given to a class of 20 students, the following test scores were obtained: 40 45 50 50 55 60 60 75 75 80 80 85 85 85 85 90 90 95 95 100 Approach: Write the expression to obtained the mean score. Mean score = ∑ all scores number of students Median is obtained when all the values are arrange in ascending order and middle value is selected, that is median is the average of ( N 2 ) th term and ( N 2 + 1 ) th term. Here, N is the total number of terms. Mode is the most commonly repeated value. Calculation: The total number of readings is 20 . The mean score is, Mean score = ( 40 + 45 + 50 + 50 + 55 + 60 + 60 + 75 + 75 + 80 + 80 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 90 + 90 + 95 + 95 + 100 ) 20 = 74 Therefore, the mean score is 74 . The most repeated score is 85 that is it occurs four times. Therefore, the mode score is 85 To determine (b). The least representative of the set of scores in between mean, median or mode central tendency.

Inverse Normal Distribution

The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

Mean, Median, Mode

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…
