determine the mode of the following numbers of shirts sold by a shopkeeper on different days of a week . 16 18 20 19 20 5 20 also ,find the mean and the median
Answers
Answer:
Mode: 20
Mean: 17 (Rounded to nearest one's place)
Median: 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Mode is the value that appears the most in the data
Mean is the sum of all the values of the data divided by the number of values in the data.
Median is the value in the middle after arranging the data in ascending or descending order
Given Observations: 16, 18, 20, 19, 20, 5, 20
Most common term, ie, Mode = 20 because it occurs the maximum number of times.
Mean = (16+18+20+19+20+5+20)(7) = 118/7 = 16.85 approx.
To find the median, we need to arrange the data in either ascending or descending order. Here, I'll arrange the data in ascending order.
5, 16, 18, 19. 20, 20, 20
No. of observations (n) = 7
This means that n is odd. Then, median = (n+1)/2 th term = 7+1/2 th = 8/2 th = 4 th term.
Here, the 4th term is 19.
Hence, the median is 19.
