उत्तर
Scores of 15 students in mathematics test are
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Arranging these scores in an ascending order,
5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 25
Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of times. Median of a 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 = 20
Also, it can be observed that 20 occurs 4 times (i.e., maximum number of times).
Therefore, mode of this data = 20
Yes, both are same.
