Find the Median and the mode

[math 2019]

How to find a mode of this sequence:{5,8,6,4,5,3,5}
Can you help me with this problem, because I didn't get it when we did it in class.
Thank-you

I would first list the elements in ascending order:

{3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8}

Which element has an equal number of elements to the left and right? That is the median (since we have an odd number of elements).

Which element occurs more than any other? That is the mode.

How to find a Median and is mode/5

 

[MarkFL]

Yes, the mode is 5 because it occurs 3 times, while all other values occur only once. Can you find the element with 3 elements to its left and 3 elements to its right?

Ok 5 , but is it the answer

 

[MarkFL]

Yes, the median is 5, as is the mode (for the reasons I stated).
