First, arrange the given points scored in ascending order.
2, 5, 7, 7, 8, 10, 10, 10, 14, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 28, 48
Here, number of observations, n = 16 (even)
Since n is even, we use the formula for median,
=(n2)th observation+(n2+1)th observation2=(162)th obseration+(162+1)th observation2
=8th observation+9th observation2
=10+142=242=12
We know that, mode is the observation which is repeated maximum number of times.
In the given data, 10 is repeated 3 times.
So, mode of the given data is 10.
Hence, median and mode for the given data are 12 and 10 respectively.
