Question

In a batch of 15 students, if the marks of 10 students who passed are $70,50,95,40,60,70,80,90,75$ and 80 then the median marks of all the 15 students is

(a) 40

(b) 50

(c) 60

(d) 70

Answer 1

Ascending order, are $40,50,60,70,70,75,80,80,90$ and 95

$\therefore \quad$ Median $=$ Value of $\left(\frac{15+1}{2}\right)$ th term

$=$ Value of 8 th term $=60$

( $\because$ first five students are failed)

So, The correct option of this question will be (C).
