Question

Find the mode, median and mean of the following data and match them with their appropriate result provided below. 3, 12, 11, 7, 5, 5, 6, 4, 10

Answer 1

How to get the mode:

- To find the mode or modal value, it is best to put the numbers in order. Then count how many of each number. A number that appears most often is the mode.

{3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12} => 5

How to get mean:

- The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words, it is the sum divided by the count.

(3 + 12 + 11 + 7 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 10) / 9

=> 63 / 9

=> 7

How to get median:

- To find the median, first order the numbers from smallest to largest. Then find the middle number

3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12

So the middle number is 6
