Observation

The chief examiner reported that majority of the candidates performed well in this question. They were able to obtain the class boundaries and also plotted the histogram correctly using the class boundaries. However, majority of the candidates were not able to estimate the median from the histogram and marks were not awarded for the median in the marking scheme.
