35 47 52 56 60
No. Of students
4 3 5 3 2

Answer 1

Answer:

median :52 in weight

mode

Answer 2

The median and mode for the following distribution is :

S.no Weight ( kg ) No. Of students

1. 35 4

2. 47 3

3. 52 5

4. 56 3

5. 60 2

•Total no. Of students = 17

n is odd i.e 7

•Therefore, median is n + 1 / 2

= 7+1/2 = 8/2 = 4

• Median is 4th term i.e 56

• For mode, 52 is having the highest frequency

• Therefore it is mode.
