A set of exam marks has mean 70 and median 65 marks. It is decided to subtract 10 from all the marks. For the new set of marks, what is the median?

Respuesta :

Answer:

For the new set of marks, the median is of 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the halfway point of a dataset, that is, the value that separates the lower 50% of the data set from the upper 50%.

In a data set, if we subtract or add all marks by x, the median will be subtracted or added by x.

In this question, we have that:

Median 65

From all marks, 10 is subtracted.

So, for the new set of marks, the median is of 65 - 10 = 55
