Question

Find the median and mode of the following observations.
$12,5,9,6,14,9$ and $8$.

Answer 1

Median is the middle most number when the series is arranged in ascending order.

The ascending order of the series is

$5,6,8,9,9,12,14$

The middle most number is $9$

Hence, Median is $9$

Mode is the most frequently occurring or repeating number found in a set of numbers

So, in this set of numbers 9 repeated 2 times it means,

Mode of this observation is $9$
