Part b· 6 steps
Using the data (as a graph is not available, we use linear interpolation)
b)(i) The median mark:
The median is the percentile.
Determine the position of the median.
Identify the median class.
The student falls in the 50-59 class, as the cumulative frequency goes from 37 (for 40-49) to 57 (for 50-59).
Apply the median formula.
The lower class boundary () for the 50-59 class is 49.5.
The cumulative frequency before the median class () is 37.
The frequency of the median class () is 20.
The class width () is .b)(ii) The percentile mark:
Determine the position of the percentile.
Identify the percentile class.
The student falls in the 50-59 class, as the cumulative frequency goes from 37 to 57.
Apply the percentile formula.
The lower class boundary () for the 50-59 class is 49.5.
The cumulative frequency before this class () is 37.
The frequency of this class () is 20.
The class width () is 10.
Part c· 2 steps
If the pass mark was 50%, what percentage of students passed?
Identify the number of students who scored 50% or more.
Students scoring 50% or more are those in the classes 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, and 90-99.
Number of students passed = .Calculate the percentage of students who passed.
Total number of students = 80.
