Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Arrange the numbers in order, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1| 2.4, 2.6| 2.6, 2.6, 3.7
n = median = \(\frac{2.4 + 2.6}{2}\)
= 2.5
m = mode = 2.6
∴ (n, m) = (2.5, 2.6)
Arrange the numbers in order, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1| 2.4, 2.6| 2.6, 2.6, 3.7
n = median = \(\frac{2.4 + 2.6}{2}\)
= 2.5
m = mode = 2.6
∴ (n, m) = (2.5, 2.6)
