Question

Find the median and mode of the data: 35, 32, 35, 42, 38, 32, 34

Answer 1

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same numbers are put together, we get:

32, 32, 34,35,35, 38,42.

Here, n = 7
∴ Median = Value of ${\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}^{th}$ observation = Value of the 4^th observation = 35.
Here, 32 and 35, both occur twice. Therefore, 32 and 35 are the two modes.
