The scores
in mathematics test (out of 25) of 15 students is as follows:
19, 25,
23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Find the
mode and median of this data. Are they same?

Scores of
15 students in mathematics test are
19, 25,
23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Arranging
these scores in an ascending order,
5, 9, 10,
12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 25
Mode of a
given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most
number of times. Median of a given data is the middle observation
when the data is arranged in an ascending or descending order.
As there
are 15 terms in the given data, therefore, the median of this data
will be the 8th observation.
Hence,
median = 20
Also, it
can be observed that 20 occurs 4 times (i.e., maximum number of
times).
Therefore,
mode of this data = 20
Yes, both
are same.
