The marks (out of 10) obtained by 28 students in a Mathematics test are listed as below:
8, 1, 2, 6, 5, 5, 5, 0, 1, 9, 7, 8, 0, 5, 8, 3, 0, 8, 10, 10, 3, 4, 8, 7, 8, 9,2, 0
The number of students who obtained marks more than or equal to5 is
A. 13
B. 15
C. 16
D. 17
In order to find out how many students obtained marks more than or equal to 5, we will arrange the given data in a table, using tally marks.
number of students who obtained marks more than or equal to 5 is
4 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2
= 17
So 17 students have obtained marks more than or equal to 5.
In question 2 above, the number of students who scored marks less than 4 is
A. 15
B. 13
C. 12
D. 10
From the table of question 2 we can calculate the number of students who scored marks less than 4 marks.
numberofstudentswhoscoredmarkslessthan4is
4 + 2 + 2 + 2
= 10
So 10 students have obtained marks less than 4.
