JAMB - Mathematics (1989 - No. 39)
If n is the median and m is the mode of the following set of numbers, 2.4, 2.1, 1.6, 2.6, 2.6, 3.7, 2.1, 2.6, then (n, m) is
(2.6, 2.6)
(2.5, 2.6)
(2.6, 2.5)
(2.5, 2.1)
ব্যাখ্যা
Arrange the numbers in order, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1| 2.4, 2.6| 2.6, 2.6, 3.7
n = median = \(\frac{2.4 + 2.6}{2}\)
= 2.5
m = mode = 2.6
∴ (n, m) = (2.5, 2.6)
n = median = \(\frac{2.4 + 2.6}{2}\)
= 2.5
m = mode = 2.6
∴ (n, m) = (2.5, 2.6)
