Answer
(i) From above data,
16 occurs for the maximum time.
Hence, mode = 16.
(ii) Arranging the numbers in ascending order :
7, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 19.
Here, n = 11, which is odd.
By formula,
Median = th term
=
= 6th term
= 15.
Hence, median = 15.
(iii) Total marks = 7 + 10 + 12 + 12 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 17 + 19
= 154.
Hence, total marks = 154.
(iv) Mean =
=
= 14.
Hence, mean = 14.
