Question

The following number of goals was scored by a team in a series of 10 matches: 

2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3 

Find the mean, median and mode of these scores. 

Answer 1

The number of goals scored by the team is 

2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3 

Arranging the number of goals in ascending order, 

0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 

The number of observations is 10, which is an even number. Therefore, 

Medium = 5^thterm + 6^thterm 2 = 3 + 3/ 2 = 6/ 2 = 3 

Mode of data is the observation with the maximum frequency in data. 

Therefore, the mode score of data is 3 as it has the maximum frequency as 4 in the data.
