| Marks | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Number of candidates | 6 | 4 | 8 | 10 | 9 | 3 |
The table above shows the distribution of marks scored by students in a test. How many candidates scored above the median score?
3
12
22
30
Correct answer is B
The total number of candidates = 40, therefore, the median occurs as the average between the 20th and 21st candidates. = \(\frac{3+3}{2} = 3\)
Number of candidates that scored above 3 : 9 + 3 = 12.
