The numbers 52,53, 54, 54, (2x+1), 55, 55, 56,57 are arranged in ascending order and their median is 55. Find the mode of the given data.
55
There are 9 observations and they are arranged in ascending order. The 5th term is the median.
2x+1=55⇒x=27
Hence, the numbers are 52,53, 54, 54, 55, 55, 55, 56,57
Hence, mode is 55 as it occurs 3 times
