for a frequency distribution,
So, total number of observation =(1+4+7+5+9+8)=34
It is a even number.
So, median is the value of average of values at (
2
n
)
th
and (
2
n+2
)
th
.
∴ Here, median is the average of the values at (

)
th
or 17
th
position and (

34+2
)
th
or 18
th
position.

So, value of x at 17
th

th
position is 14.
∴Median=(

=13.5.
Mode for a frequency distribution is the value which is the most common frequent value.
Here 14 has frequency 9 which is highest. So, mode for the frequency distribution is 14.
