Mean:
Mean = (98 + 96 + 94 + 94 + 92 + 90 + 90 + 88 + 86 + 86 + 86 + 82 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 +
78 + 76 + 72 + 70 + 68 + 64) / 23
Mean = 1870 / 23
Mean ≈ 81.30

Median:
Scores in ascending order: 64, 68, 70, 72, 76, 78, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 82, 86, 86, 86, 88, 90, 90,
92, 94, 94, 96, 98
Median ≈ 80 (the middle value)

Mode:
Mode = 80 (appears 5 times, the most frequent score)

Range:.
Range = 98 - 64 = 34

Standard Deviation:

σ = √[(∑(x - μ)²) / N]

Where:
σ = Standard deviation
x = Individual score
μ = Mean
N = Total number of scores

Calculating the standard deviation for the given scores:

σ = √[(∑(x - μ)²) / N]
= √[(∑(98 - 81.30)² + (96 - 81.30)² + ... + (64 - 81.30)²) / 23]
≈ 8.48

The standard deviation is approximately 8.48.

What these figures mean:

Mean: The mean represents the average score of the dataset, which in this case is
approximately 81.30. It provides an overall measure of central tendency.
Median: The median is the middle value in the dataset when arranged in ascending order. It
helps identify the central value that divides the data into two equal halves.
Mode: The mode is the most frequently occurring score, which in this case is 80
