Question

What is the mean of the mode and median of the data given
8. 7, 5, 4, 9, 1, 3, 7, 6, 5, 2, 1, 6, 3, 9, 8, 4, 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there,

Mode:- The observation which is repeated for a large number of times in the given set of numbers is mode.

Here, if we check which number is repeating the most

you will get the answer as 6.

And another thing, there can be more than one mode also.

Median:- The middle most observation in the given set of numbers is called median.

If there are an even number of observations, use the formula( n+1/2).

Here we have 18 observations.

As 18 is an even number, use the formula.

The use of formula is given down below:-

18+1/2= 9.5 which is close to 9 when we estimate.

So the 9th observation, which is 6 is the median of the given set of numbers in this question.

Hope it is found to be useful!!!
