Question

Find the Median and Mode of the following distribution 17,9,8,4,8,17,4,7,4,2

Answer 1

median= highest - lowest

= 17 - 2

= 15

Mode = 17

Answer 2

Answer:

The mode is 4 and median is 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ascending order of given observation is:

          2,4,4,4,7,8,8,9,17,17

Mode: Since 4 is appearing most number of times so mode is 4

Median: number of observation, $n=10$ even

            so median $=$ average of $(\frac{n}{2})$th and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$ th observation

                               $=$ average of $5$th and $6$ th observation

                               $=\frac{7+8}{2}=7.5$
