Find the median and mode for the set of numbers : 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 9

Solution:

Here n = 9 which is odd.

Median = ((n+1)/2)^th term

Median = ((9+1)/2)^th term

Median = (10/2)^th term

Median = 5 ^th term

Median = 5

Mode is the number which appears most often in a set of numbers.

Here 5 occurs maximum number of times.

So mode is 5.
