A math professor is wondering if students today are better or worse than in the past. He has given the same final to this year's class that he gave ten years ago. Compute mean, median, and mode for both classes and write a paragraph summarizing the differences. This Year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data:

This year :

35, 45, 53, 57, 61, 65, 67, 69, 70, 71, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77, 80, 81, 82, 83, 87, 90, 93, 95, 99

Mean = ΣX / n = 1825 / 25 = 73

The mode = 71 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 73

10 years ago :

51, 55, 56, 59, 65, 67, 68, 69, 69, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 79, 79, 79, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 91, 95, 98

Mean = ΣX / n = 1902 / 25 = 76.08

The mode = 79 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 77

According to the computed statistics, we can conclude that, today is worse than the past as the average score which is almost similar to the median value is higher 10 years ago and the modal score is better 10 years ago as well.
