No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Sum of the marks = 441, so the mean = 441 ÷ 9 = 49. Arranged in order the data are 32, 32, 32, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, so the 5th value, 50, is the median. The value 32 occurs most often, so the mode is 32.
