Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the mean mark for each student

The mean mark for each student is calculated by summing their marks and dividing by the number of subjects.

For AA: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{84 + 86 + 87 + 66 + 88 + 44 + 68 + 100}{8} = \frac{623}{8} = 77.875 \approx 77.9 \]

For BZ: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{68 + 69 + 40 + 69 + 85 + 50 + 57 + 92}{8} = \frac{530}{8} = 66.25 \approx 66.3 \]

For CC: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{73 + 71 + 36 + 72 + 92 + 42 + 83 + 99}{8} = \frac{568}{8} = 71 \approx 71.0 \]

Step 2: Calculate the median of the averages

The averages for the students are: \[ 77.9, 66.3, 71.0, 84.5, 77.3 \] Sorting these values: \[ 66.3, 71.0, 77.3, 77.9, 84.5 \] The median is the middle value: \[ \text{Median} = 77.3 \]

Step 3: Determine the mode for each subject

We need to find the mode for each subject by checking the frequency of each grade.

For AG: \[ \text{Grades: } 84, 68, 73, 77, 81 \quad (\text{No mode}) \]

For ENGA: \[ \text{Grades: } 86, 69, 71, 86, 79 \quad (\text{Mode: } 86) \]

For MATH: \[ \text{Grades: } 87, 40, 36, 74, 66 \quad (\text{No mode}) \]

Final Answer

Step 1: Calculate the mean mark for each student

For AA: \[ \text{Mean} = 77.9 \]

For BZ: \[ \text{Mean} = 66.3 \]

For CC: \[ \text{Mean} = 71.0 \]

Step 2: Calculate the median of the averages

\[ \text{Median} = 77.3 \]

Step 3: Determine the mode for each subject

For ENGA: \[ \text{Mode: } 86 \]
