Answer 1

https://media.glynlyon.com/g_alg01_2013/11/_m70836d.gif
median < mode

median = mode

median > mode

Answer 2

I know how to find Mode and the median . but not on this format

Answer 3

mode is the most frequently occurring observation

Answer 4

here, "y axis" represents, "how many times" a particular observation occurred

Answer 5

so, mode is the highest bar... which is ?

Answer 6

Well wouldnt the mode be 4? it is the most occurring number?

Answer 7

how did u get "4" ?

Answer 8

here, mode is "300"

Answer 9

ohh I see!

Answer 10

cuz, the observation "300" is occurring 18 times which is the highest in the given graph !

Answer 11

next, count how many total observations are there
and find out the median

Answer 12

There is 45 Observations right?

Answer 13

So Median<Mode?

Answer 14

Median>Mode my bad

Answer 15

100 has 7 boxes
200 has 3 boxes
300 has 9 boxes
400 has 6 boxes
500 has 1 boxes
600 has 6 boxes
700 has 4 boxes
-------------------
total = 36 boxes

Answer 16

so, median is the average of 18th and 19th observation :

however 18th and 19th observations fall in "300", so, median = 300

Answer 17

Im sorry I am confused. The median is the middle number in a data set. So would 150 be the median? I dont see how the median can be 300.

Answer 18

okay, how do u say 150 is the median ?
how is it the middle of dataset ?

Answer 19

dataset wud look like below :

100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 200, 200, 200, 300, 300, 300, ...

Answer 20

there are 7 observations that are 100,
next there are 3 observations that are 200,
next there are 9 observations that are 300,
and so on...

Answer 21

since there are in total 36 observations,
wat wud be the median ?

Answer 22

ohhhhh
now I see. It would be
300 like you said.

Answer 23

So it would be Mode=Median because it is the most frequent or highest number of observations. Or am I still wrong?

Answer 24

you got it !!

Answer 25

okay thanks so much!!!!!

Answer 26

yw !
