Q1QP2 Q.No.68 - Both -2 and 2 should be awarded marks, please check the mail for why even -2 should be considered

[R Ashwin Jain]

Hello,

the Q. No. 68 in paper 2( Q1QP2) asks difference between the medians of given two stem plots. 

Median of 1st stem plot = 71

Median of 2nd stem plot = 73

1st argument - anyone would find the difference in the order of stem plots i.e. 1st median - 2nd median = -2

2nd argument - the question just stated difference between the medians and didn't mention whether difference between second and first median or difference between first and second median.

And since the answer type is numerical answer type and not choose the correct option type, I think both -2 and 2 should be considered correct for evaluation.

Hopefully this concern is looked into before the result.

Also request others facing same concern to raise it by replying to this discussion.
