The table below gives the scores of a group of students in a Mathematical test. \(\begin{array}{c|c} Scores & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 \\ \hline Frequency & 2 & 4 & 7 & 14 & 12 & 6 & 4 & 1\end{array}\) If the mode in m and the number of students who scored 4 or less is s. What is (s, m)?
A. (27, 4) B. (14,4) C. (13,4) D. (4,4)
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
M = mode = the number having the highest frequency = 4 S = Number of students with 4 or less marks = 14 + 7 + 4 + 2 = 27 ∴ (M,S) = (27, 4)
