Question

The price of different types of pizza is given. If each price is increased by 30 rupees, which of the following gives the new median and mode?

• A. 95, 98
• B. 95, 95
• C. 86, 95
• D. 65, 68

Answer 1

The correct option is A 95, 98

The given data set is

Each price is increased by 30 rupees.

Hence, the new data set is

89, 98, 95, 86, 98

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.

Arranging the data set, we get

86, 89, 95, 98, 98

$\therefore$ Median = 95

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

$\therefore$ Mode = 98

Hence, the new median and mode of the data set are 95 and 98.
