Question

What is the median and the mode of the set (do not round for median)

Answer 1

Answer:

The mode is 71 and the median is 70.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode is the most occurring number, meaning that 71 (occurring 3 times) is the mode. For median, you have to order the numbers least to greatest (52, 54, 54, 68, 70, 71, 71, 71, 79, 81) and find the number(s) that are in the middle. The two numbers in the middle of the set are 70 and 71. The number in between 70 and 71 is 70.5, getting you your median. I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

68, 79, 71, 52, 71, 54, 71, 81, 54, 70

=============================================================

Place in ascending order :

⇒ 52, 54, 54, 68, 70, 71, 71, 71, 79, 81

=============================================================

Finding the mode :

⇒ The mode is the number which is most prevalent in the set

⇒ The mode is 71

============================================================

Finding the median :

⇒ Take the mean of the middle 2 terms (as there are even number of terms)

⇒ Median = 70 + 71 / 2

⇒ Median = 70.5
