What is the sum of the median and mode of the data 8, 1, 5, 4, 9, 6, 3, 6, 1, 3, 6, 9, 1, 7, 2, 6, 5 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Arrange the data in ascending order
1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9
n = 17 (odd number)
Median = \(\frac{(n + 1)}{2}\)th = \(\frac{(17 + 1)}{2}\)th = 9th = 5
Mode = 6 (maximum frequency)
Sum of median and mode = 6 + 5 = 11
