Question

Find the mean, median and mode(s) of the data.

4, 6, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4,8
Mean
Median
Mode

Answer 1

mean = 5

median = 4.5

mode = 4

Explanation:

Mean :

n = 8

sum of all items = 4+6+5+4+4+5+4+8

= 10+9+9+12

= 19+ 21

= 40

so,

mean = sum of all items/ n

= 40/8

= 5

mean = 5

Median:

ascending order: 4,4,4,4,5,5,6,8

n = 8

md = (n+1)/2 the term

= (8+1)/2 th term

= 9/2 th term

= 4.5 th term

= (4th + 5th) / 2

= (4+5)/2

= 9/2

= 4.5

median = 4.5

x. f.

4. 4

5. 2

6. 1

8. 1

here the highest frequency is 4 and 4 is corresponding to 4

so, mode = 4
