Question

A hockey player has scored following number of goals in 9 matches. 5, 4, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3.

Find the mean, median and mode of the data.

Answer 1

The scores of the hockey player in 9 matches in ascending order: 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5

Mean = `( 5 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 ) / 9`

= `27 / 9`

= 3

Median = `((9 + 1)/2)^"th"` = `( 10/2 )^"th"` = 5^th Observation = 3

Mode = The observation with the maximum occurrence = 4
