Exercise 10.2
Problem: 1(i)
Compute the Mean, Median and Mode of the following data:
10, 8, 6, 0, 8, 3, 2, 5, 8, 4
Above data is Un-Grouped Data.
Mean:
Formula:
|
Average Mean =
|
Sum of all values
|
|
Number of values
|
|
X =
|
∑x
|
|
N
|
Sum of values = ∑x = 54
Number of values = N = 10
Putting the values in formula:
|
Average Mean =
|
54
|
|
|
10
|
|
Answer:
Average Mean = 5.4
Median:
First arrange the values in descending order
0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8, 10
N = 10 is even number so,
|
Find the values at position
|
N

and
|
N

|
5
|
+1 = 6
|
So, 5th and 6th value of arranged data is 5, 6
Sum of 5 + 6 = 11
|
Median =
|
11
|
|
2
|
Answer:
Median = 5.5
Mode:
Most frequently occurring value is called Mode; 8 occurs three time in
above data. So,
Answer:
Mode = 8
