Question

The number of pages in each chapter of a book are listed below.

11,12,14,12,15,11,16,12,14,13,12,13,14

Find the mode and the median of these page counts.

Answer 1

Hi Yanelly, mode is the value that happens the MOST; median is the one in the middle.

To solve the median, you need to write them all in order from lowest to highest:

For example, if you had 6,7,4,5,6

The mode would be 6 -- it happens the most

The median would be : 4, 5, 6, 6, 7...so it is also 6 in this case.

Note: If you have an even number of values, to get the median, you need to average the two values in the middle:)
