The table above shows the distribution of marks scored by students in a test. How many candidates scored above the median score?
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.
