Experiment no.

To calculated the mean, median, mode of the given example?

The given table shows the scores obtained by different players in a match.

S.No Name Runs Scored

1 Sachin 80

2 Yuvraj 52

3 Virat 40

4 Sehwag 52

5 Rohit 70

6 Harbhajan 1

7 Dhoni 6

Solution:

i) The mean is given by:

Mean =∑x/n
Mean =80+52+40+52+70+1+6/7
Mean =43
The mean of the given data is 43.

ii) To find out the median let us first arrange the given data in ascending order

Name Harbhajan Dhoni Virat Yuvraj Sehwag Rohit Sachin

Runs 1 6 40 52 52 70 80

As the number of items in the data is odd. Hence, the median is [(n+1)/2]th observation.

⇒ Median = [(7+1)/2] th observation = 52

iii) Mode is the most frequent data, which is 52.
