70, 75, 72, 65, 68, 80, 67
- Arranging scores in ascending order:
65, 67, 68, 70, 72, 75, 80
- Here, there are a total of 7 observations. So n = 7, which is an even integer.
- Now, placing the value of observation in M = (n + 1) / 2,,
M = {(7 + 1) / 2} = 4
- Thus, the value of M will be equal to the fourth observation.
- The fourth observation is 70.
- Therefore, the average of the students' marks in mathematics is 70.
