There are 3 bar graph below blue line for Student B
poojaarora1818
I am getting student B for option 1, but for the second part, I am still confused about how it is test 3?
Bismuth83
The two graphs below show the grades obtained by two students A and B in ten tests they took last year. The Red, Blue and Green lines indicate the Highest, Average, and Lowest scores respectively.­




The student whose median score was more than the average score was , and he also scored less than the average score in tests.­

you dont actually want to calculate the median...for 20 inputs you are gonna waste a lot of time and risk a calculation error in my opinion.

The first graphs there is only only one bar that sticks above the blue line. we know that when we order the scores the median (i.e. the average of observation 5 and 6) will be for sure below the value in the blue line.

The second graph we can see only three observation are below that blue line..surely, the median (i.e. the average of observation 5 and 6) will greater than the blue line. Also recognizing this will help us easily answer the second part of the question.
