QUESTION:
Constructing Data Sets In Exercises 58, construct the described data set.The entries in the data set cannot all be the same.Median and mode are the same.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
It is required to construct a dataset whose entries cannot all be the same such that its median and mode are the same.
Consider the data set: 3,4,6,4,3,4,4
The total number of data points are 7 in the above data set.
To compute the median, arrange the data points in ascending order that is,
3,3,4,4,4,4,6
As the total data points are n = 7 which is an odd number.
In such case, median is obtained as:
Therefore, Median = 4.
