Question

ages of players in a cricket team are 25,26,25,27,28,30,31,27,33,27,29.i) find the minimum number of players to be added to the above team so that mode of Data changes and what must be their ages. ii) find the mean and mode of the data

Answer 1

i)-so you make table / frequency so u can confirm your answer
ii)- mean =total number/no of players
= 25+26+25+27+28+30+31+27+33+27+29/11
=308/11
=28
mode =27

Answer 2

The two possible modes could be 27 and 25 respectively.

27 in this case is the mode given that it appears three times.

25 only appears twice and hence it is number two after 27.

In order to change the mode we will need to add two more players of age 25 so that 25 can become the mode.

The mean of the given data is as follows :

(25 + 26 + 25 + 27 + 28 + 30 + 31 + 27 + 33 + 27 + 29) / 11

= 308/11 = 28 years.

Mode is : 27 Years
