3. The weights (in kg.) of 15 students of a class are:
38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47
(i) Find the mode and median of this data.
(ii) Is there more than one mode?
Given the weights of 15 students (in kg) =
Arranging the data in ascending order =
(i) Clearly, 38 and 43 both occur three times. So, they both are the mode of the data.
Now, there are 15 values, so the median is the
Hence, 40 is the median value.
(ii) Yes, there are two modes of the data given.
