Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If 17 out of 30 students scored exactly 62 points, then the mode (most common score) for that particular English exam was 62 points. The mean or average score could be higher or lower than 62, depending on the scores of the remaining 13 students. Similarly, the median or middle score could also be higher or lower than 62 depending on the distribution of the scores. However, since 17 students achieved the same score, it is unlikely that the standard deviation, which measures the variability of scores, would be exactly 62 points.
