It’s nothing but the basic application of Median and Mode:
Using Mode Method:
Look for the highest number (frequency) in each Rank Column from 1 through 3
Rank 1- Performer A (with 51 votes)
Rank 2- Performer C (with 95 votes)
Rank 3- Performer B (with 72 votes)
Now, using Median Method:
Each column adds up to 100 votes. So, rank assignment would be based on the answer of 50th and 51st terms
Rank 1- Performer A
Rank 2- Performer C
Rank 3- Performer B
Since we arrive at the same answer using both the methods, therefore, “Same” column of the question stem must be selected for all the ranks.
