Question

Age of participants in two different competitions is given. Find mode of data 1 and median of data 2 by observation (without calculation).

• A. Mode of data 1 = 60, median of data 2 = 80
• B. Mode of data 1= 60, median of data 2 = 60
• C. Mode of data 1 = 40, median of data 2 = 70
• D. Mode of data 1= 60, median of data 2 = 70

Answer 1

The correct option is D Mode of data 1= 60, median of data 2 = 70

In a dot plot, the mode is represented by the tallest stack of dots.

From the given plot, we observe that, the mode of data 1 = 60.



In a box plot, the median marks the mid-point of the data and is shown by the line that divides the box into two parts (second quartile)

Hence, median of data 2 = 70.
