Question

A hockey player has scored following number of goals in 9 matches.

5, 4, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3

Find the mean, median and mode of the data.

Answer 1

Given:

The scores of the hockey player in 9 matches in ascending order:

0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5

$\mathrm{Mean}=\frac{5+4+0+2+2+4+4+3+3}{9}=\frac{27}{9}=3$

$\mathrm{Median}=\left(\frac{9+1}{2}\right)\mathrm{th}=\left(\frac{10}{2}\right)\mathrm{th}=5\mathrm{th}\mathrm{observation}=3$

​Mode = The observation with the maximum occurrence = 4
