n a Mathematics test given to 15 students, the following marks (out of 100) are recorded :
41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96,
52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.

(ii) Median
Arranging the given data in descending order, we have
98, 96, 62, 60, 54, 52, 52, 52, 48,
46, 42, 41, 40, 40, 39
Number of observations (n) = 15, which is odd.
= 8th observation = 52
(iii) Mode
Arranging the data in descending order, we have
98, 96, 62, 60, 54, 52, 52, 52,
48, 46, 42, 41, 40, 40, 39
Here, 52 occurs most frequently (3 times)
∴ Mode = 52.
