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)
Paaiškinimas
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)
