Question

What are the median and mode for this set of data? 3 5 8 9 10 14 15 19

Answer 1

The median is 9.5 and there is no mode since all numbers repeat once.

Explanation:

Mode means most and since there are none of the numbers repeat there is no mode. The median is 9.5 because the two middle numbers are 9 and 10 so the middle of that would be 9.5

Answer 2

median = 9.5

mode = no mode

Explanation:

the median is the middle number

there are 8 numbers

so the median is number 4 and 5 added together and then divided by 2

9+10/2 = 9.5

the mode is the most often

there is no number that appears the most often so there is no mode
