Task a: Measures of Central Tendency

=== Mean ===
=AVERAGE(B2:B26)
→ Add all marks and divide by 25

=== Median ===
=MEDIAN(B2:B26)
→ Middle value when data is sorted

=== Mode ===
=MODE(B2:B26)
→ Most frequently occurring value
(If no repeated values, use MODE.MULT for multiple modes)

Interpretation:

  • Mean represents the average performance of the class
  • Median is not affected by extreme values (outliers) — better for skewed data
  • Mode shows the most common score in the class

Task b: Frequency Distribution with Relative Frequency

Step 1: Define Class Intervals

Class IntervalFrequencyRelative Frequency
30–40(count)Frequency / Total
41–50(count)Frequency / Total
51–60(count)Frequency / Total
61–70(count)Frequency / Total
71–80(count)Frequency / Total
81–90(count)Frequency / Total
91–100(count)Frequency / Total
Total251.00 (100%)

Step 2: Frequency Formula (COUNTIFS)

=== Frequency for 30–40 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=30",B2:B26,"<=40")

=== Frequency for 41–50 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=41",B2:B26,"<=50")

=== Frequency for 51–60 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=51",B2:B26,"<=60")

=== Frequency for 61–70 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=61",B2:B26,"<=70")

=== Frequency for 71–80 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=71",B2:B26,"<=80")

=== Frequency for 81–90 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=81",B2:B26,"<=90")

=== Frequency for 91–100 ===
=COUNTIFS(B2:B26,">=91",B2:B26,"<=100")

Step 3: Relative Frequency Formula

=== Relative Frequency (assuming total in D9) ===
=D2/SUM(D$2:D$8)    [drag down for each row]

=== As Percentage ===
=D2/SUM(D$2:D$8)*100

Tip: Format Relative Frequency column as Percentage (Home → Number → %)
