Q.3 The weights (in kg) of 15 students of a class are:
38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47
(i) Find the mode and median of this data.
(ii) Is there more than one mode?

Arranging in increasing order, we get
32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 38, 40, 42, 43, 43, 43, 45, 47, 50
(i) Here, 38 and 42 occur 3 times (highest)
Thus mode = 38 and 43
n = 15(odd)
Median = (n+1)/2th term =(15+1)/2th term
= 8th term = 40
Thus mode 38 and 43 and median = 40
(ii) Yes, the given data has two modes i.e. 38 and 43.
