How to find median and a mode of arranged and non-arranged data respectively?

Question

HIX Tutor · Accepted Answer

undefined To find the median of arranged data:
1. Arrange the data in numerical order from smallest to largest.
2. If there is an odd number of data points, the median is the middle number.
3. If there is an even number of data points, find the two middle numbers and calculate their average to find the median.

To find the mode of non-arranged data:
1. Count how many times each number appears in the data set.
2. The number that appears most frequently is the mode.
If no number is repeated, there is no mode.

First it is important to arrange the data. Then look for the middle of the data for the median, and the most common number the mode.

The median is the middle number of a set of data. It is necessary to first arrange the data from smallest to largest or largest to smallest. Count from both directions to find the middle. If there are an even number of data entries there will be two middle numbers find the average of the two middle numbers. If there is an odd number of data entries the middle number will be the same from both directions, that is the medium The mode is the most popular of the data entries. When the data is arranged the duplicate number of entries can be easily seen. The number with the largest number of entries is the mode. It is possible to have more than one mode.
