Question

Find the difference between the median and the mode of the scores: 4,3,5,9,4,6,3,8,6,4,5

Answer 1

First, let's find the median:
Arrange the scores in numerical order:
3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9

Since there are 11 scores, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th scores:
Median = (5 + 5) / 2 = 5

Now, let's find the mode (the number that appears most frequently):
The mode is 4, as it appears 3 times.

Difference between median and mode:
5 - 4 = 1

Therefore, the difference between the median and the mode of the scores is 1.
