𝑥=33.1

Analysis: The mean performance of 50 students in a 50-item test in Chemistry is

33.1. Those students who got scores below 33.1 did not perform well in the said
test while those who got scores above 33.1 performed well.

Analysis: The median value is 33 which means that 50% or 25 scores are less than
33.

𝑥 = 34.5 + (1.11)
𝑥 = 35.61

Analysis: The mode of the score distribution that consists of of 50 students is

35.61 because 35.61 occurred several times.

Solution:

LL of the LS = 15
LS 𝐿𝐵 = 15 − .05 = 14.5

UL of the HS = 49

𝐻𝑆 𝑈𝐵 = 49 + .05 = 49.5
𝑅 = 𝐻𝑆 𝑈𝐵 − 𝐿𝑆 𝑈𝐵
𝑅 = 49.5 − 14.5
𝑅 = 35

𝑥 = 33.1
Mean Deviation:
∑f/X 𝑀 −X/
𝑀𝐷 = 𝑛
 321.6
𝑀𝐷 = 50

𝑀𝐷 = 6.43

Analysis: The mean deviation of the 50 scores of students is 6.43. This means that
on the average, the value deviated from the mean of 33.1 is 6.43.
