Marks scored in Science: 64, 72, 55, 90, 47
Marks scored in Mathematics: 35, 66, 94, 80, 48
Find the difference between the median marks scored in Science and the mean marks scored in Mathematics.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Science marks = 47, 55, 64, 72, 90
Median = 64
Mathematics marks = 35, 66, 94, 80, 48
Sum = 323
Mean = 323 ÷ 5 = 64.6
Difference =
64.6 − 64 = 0.6
