Question

the marks in science of 10 students are 40, 42, 47, 40, 36, 32, 33,38, 49​ (find 1 range 2 mean)​

Answer 1

The weights (in kg.) of 15 students of a class are:

38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47

Solution:

Let us arrange the data in ascending order

32,35,36,37,38,38,38,40,42,43,43,43,45,47,50.

i) Mode = 38 and 43 as they occured the maximum number of times

Median = \left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{th}\(

2

n+1

)

th

n = 15

\frac{15\ +\ 1}{2}

2

15 + 1

= \frac{16}{2\ }\ =\ 8th\ term

2

16

= 8th term

8th term = 40

Thus, mode of the data is 38 and 43

Median = 40

ii) Yes, the given data has two modes.
