Example Questions

Example Question #434 : Statistics And Probability

What is the mode of the following set of numbers?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We define mode as the number that appears most often in a set of numbers.

Examining the set above, we see that  appears the most times and is therefore the mode of the set.

Example Question #435 : Statistics And Probability

Sue's batches of cupcakes keep coming out uneven. She made the following amounts of cupcakes in each batch: 

She wants to find the number of cupcakes that appeared the most (mode). What is the mode of the number of cupcakes made?

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

You must first arrange the number of cupcakes baked from smallest to largest. So:

From here you just see which number appears the most time, which, as it turns out is  .

Example Question #436 : Statistics And Probability

A 2nd grade class took a spelling test worth  points.  Below is the scores obtained by the students out of  possible points.  Find the mode.

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs most frequently.  If we look at the set of numbers given

we can determine the mode by finding the number that occurs most often.  

Mode

Therefore, the mode of the given test scores is .

Example Question #1861 : Algebra 1

Find the mode.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Mode is the number or numbers in the data set that occur the most. According to the data set,  appears the most. It occurs three times which makes  our answer. 

Example Question #1862 : Algebra 1

Find the mode.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Mode is the number or numbers in the data set that occur the most. According to the data set,  appears the most. It occurs two times which makes  our answer. You can have more than one answer when finding the mode. 

Example Question #80 : How To Find Mode

 
Find the mode of the following data set.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:
Find the mode of the following data set.

The mode is one of the simpler statistical items to find, if you know what you are looking for.

To find the mode, simply look for the term or value that is repeated most. 

In this case, we only have one repeated term, and that is "12", making our mode 12.

 

Example Question #1863 : Algebra 1

Find the mode of the following values:

 

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is the number that is repeated more often than the other numbers.

2, 19, 15, 1, 11, 17, 2, 18, 14

So, 2 is the mode.

Example Question #82 : How To Find Mode

Find the mode of the following set of numbers:

Possible Answers:

All

None

Correct answer:

None

Explanation:

The mode is the most frequent number. Since each number appears only once, their is no mode. Thus, our answer is "none".

Example Question #1864 : Algebra 1

Find the mode of the following set of numbers:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following set of numbers:

Mode is simply the most repeated number in the set. 

In this case, we have three 34's, so our answer must be 34. Nothing else comes close.

Example Question #1865 : Algebra 1

A zoo just recently took inventory of all the new animals they received from the neighboring wildlife conservatory. This was their list:

snake, kangaroo, elephant, bonobo, bonobo, snake, lemur, snake, lemur, bonobo

What is the mode of the inventory log of recently received animals?

 

Possible Answers:

snakes

kangaroos and elephants

elephants

snakes and bonobos

lemurs

Correct answer:

snakes and bonobos

Explanation:

The mode is the number that appears most often in your set. In this case, because there are no numbers, we will be looking at which animal appears most often. 

Mode animals

This is one simple way to organize the given information. Each "X" represents each time the given animal appeared on the inventory log. The animal (in this case) with the most x's above its name appears most often and may be considered the mode. In this case, we see 3 x's for bonobos and snakes. Therefore, snakes and bonobos appear most often.
