Question

The populations go groups A and B recorded the number of hours being active in a week. The results are listed below:

Group A) 29, 21, 14, 17, 35, 12, 29, 20 Group B) 29, 23, 19, 11, 12, 29, 15, 25, 29,

Based on this data, which is the following choices about the respective medians and modes is true?

The median of group A is greater than the median of group B and the mode of group A is greater than the mode of group B.

The median of group A is greater than the median of group B and the mode of group A is less than the mode of group B.

The median of group A is less than the median of group B and the mode of group A is less than the mode of group B.

The median of group A is less than the median of Group B and the mode of group A equals the mode of group B.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
