Question

Length of carrots grown in Abhishek's garden is shown below. The median and mode of the data is

• A. 15 and 16
• B. 15 and 17
• C. 17 and 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 15 and 16

The given data set is

12, 16, 14, 17, 13, 16, 15

For a set with an odd number of values, the median is the middle value of the data set when it is arranged in an ascending or descending order.

Let us arrange the numbers in ascending order to find the median of the data set.

Hence, the median of the data set is 15.

The mode of the data set is the value or values that occur most often.


Hence, the mode of the given data set = 16
