उत्तर
The weights of 15 students are
38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47
Arranging these weights in ascending order,
32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 38, 40, 42, 43, 43, 43, 45, 47, 50
i) Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of times and the median of the given data is the middle observation when the data is arranged in an ascending or descending order.
As there are 15 terms in the given data, therefore, the median of this data will be the 8th observation.
Hence, median = 40
Also, it can be observed that 38 and 43 both occur 3 times (i.e., maximum number of times).
Therefore, mode of this data = 38 and 43
ii) Yes, there are 2 modes for the given data.
