| Score | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| No. of shots | 0 | 3 | 6 | 4 | 7 | 5 |
- What was his modal score?
- What was his median score?
- What was his total score?
- What was his mean score?
Solution
| Score x |
No. of shots f |
fx |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 3 | 3 |
| 2 | 6 | 12 |
| 3 | 4 | 12 |
| 4 | 7 | 28 |
| 5 | 5 | 25 |
| Total | 25 | 80 |
- Modal score = 4 as it has maximum frequency 7.
- Median = `(25 + 1)/2` = 13th term = 3
- Total score = 80
- Mean = `80/25` = 3.2
