Question

Find the median and mode(s)of the data set 53,53.5,57,54,54.5,47,55,54.5​

Answer 1

Both mode and median is 54.5

You have to put them in order...

The number in the middle off all the numbers is the median so if you go back n forth crossing off the numbers your left with 54.5

The mode is the number you see the most sooo 54.5

Answer 2

the median is the middle number.

and the mode is the number that occurs most.

so if we put everything in order

53, 53.5, 54, 54.5, 54.5, 55, 57

so the mode would be 54.5 cause it occurs twice

and the median would be somewhere in between 54 and 54.5
