Question

What is the difference between the mode and the median of the data: 23, 26, 22, 24, 29, 22, 24, 23, and 24?

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference between mode and median = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is

23, 26, 22, 24, 29, 22, 24, 23, and 24

To find,

Mode - Median

Recall the concepts

Mode is the most occurring observation

Median is the middlemost value of the data when arranged in ascending order.

Solution:

The given data is 23, 26, 22, 24, 29, 22, 24, 23, and 24
The ascending order of the data is

22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 24, 26, 29

Mode is the most occurring value of the data

Here, the most occurring  value is 24,

Hence the mode of the data is 24

Median is the middlemost value of the data

Since there are 9 observations, the middlemost value is the 5th observation

Median of the data = 24

∴Difference between mode and median = 24 - 24 = 0
