\(\begin{array}{c|c} Scores(x) & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6  \\ \hline Frequency(f) & 7 & 11 & 6 & 7 & 7 & 5 & 3\end{array}\)

In the distribution above, the mode and median respectively are

  • A 1,3
  • B 1, 2
  • C 3, 3
  • D 0, 2
jamb 1988mathematics

The correct answer is B. 1, 2

To find the mode and median, first list the data in order:

Scores: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Frequency: 7, 11, 6, 7, 7, 5, 3

The mode is the value that appears most frequently, which is \(1\) with a frequency of \(11\).

The median is the middle value when the data is ordered.

Median = (2+2)/2 =2.

Therefore, the mode is 1 and the median is 2.
