Question

A small group of seven students evaluated Professor Zanylo's lectures. On a scale of 1 to 10, the scores the students registered were 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10. Professor Zanylo's mode score was ________ and his median score was ________.

Answer 1

Zanylo's mode score was 9 and his median score was 8.

Mode: most frequent number
Median: Middlemost number

Answer 2

The mode is defined as the number that appears most within a given sequence.
The median is the middle number of a given sequence listed from least to greatest.
Let's look for the mode.
We have:
4
5
7
8
9, 9
10.
9 appears the most, so the mode is 9.
Let's find the median now.
4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10.
Cross out the smallest number with the largest number until we can no longer do so.
5, 7, 8, 9, 9.
7, 8, 9.
8.
Your median is 8.
Your mode is 9.
I hope this helps!
