The following number of goals were scored by a team in a series of 10 matches:
2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3
Find the mean, median and mode of these scores.
Solution:
Mean = (Sum of all the observations/number of observations)
To find the median of given data, we will have to arrange data in the ascending order.
0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5
Total number of observations
which is an even number.
Therefore, median is the mean of
and
observation.
observation =
observation = 5th observation =3
observation =
observation = 6th observation =3
Median = mean of 5th and 6th observation
3 is occurring most number of times in the given data which means that mode
Therefore, mean =2.8, median =3 and mode =3.
