4. The scores in mathematics test (out of 25) of 15 students is as follows:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Find the mode and median of this data. Are they same?
Answers
mode is 20
and median is also 20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's know the meaning of the terms "Mode" and "Median"
Mode = The no. which is occurring most frequently in a set of numbers is called Mode
Median = Median refers to the value which lie in the middle of the set of numbers (When arranged in ascending or descending order).
Now Coming to the question :-
First we will find the mode of the data :- 19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
20 have occurred 4 times ∴
The most frequently occurring value = 20 Therefore the mode of the given set of data is 20
Now Median;
Numbers arranged in ascending order = 5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 25
So the middle value here is 20.
Median and Mode both are same.
