Example Question #491 : Statistics And Probability
Find the mode of the following set:
To find the mode of any set, find the number which occurs the greatest number of times in the set. The best answer is:
Example Question #492 : Statistics And Probability
Which dataset has no mode?
The mode of a dataset is the element that occurs the most frequently. A set is considered to have no mode if and only if no element is repeated. The only choice that fits this description is
Example Question #493 : Statistics And Probability
Consider the data set
How many ways can a single number replace the square to create a bimodal set?
Infinitely many
Zero
The correct answer is not among the other choices.
Five
One
Zero
The mode of a dataset is the element that occurs the most frequently. A set is considered to be bimodal if there are two elements that tie for this distinction.
Each of the five known elements are unique within the set. If the square is replaced by one of those five numbers, then that element will appear twice, and each other element will appear once. That will give the set exactly one mode. If the square is replaced by any other number, then each number will appear exactly once, and the set will have no mode. Therefore, there is no number that can replace the square that will make it bimodal.
Example Question #494 : Statistics And Probability
Consider the data set
How many ways can a single number replace the square to create a bimodal set?
One
Three
None
Two
Infinitely many
Infinitely many
The mode of a dataset is the element that occurs the most frequently. A set is considered to be bimodal if there are two elements that tie for this distinction.
If the square is replaced by a "2" or a "4", then that number will appear in the set three times, more than any other number. The set will have exactly one mode. If the square is replaced by "6", then each of "2", "4", and "6" will appear two times, giving the set three modes.
However, if any other number replaces the square, "2" and "4" will each appear twice, and "6" and the new number will each appear once. This makes "2" and "4" the two modes of the set. The correct response is therefore infinitely many.
Example Question #495 : Statistics And Probability
Consider the data set
How many ways can a single number replace the square to create a set with no mode?
Three
Zero
One
Four
Infinitely many
Zero
The mode of a dataset is the element that occurs the most frequently. A set is considered to have no mode if and only if no element is repeated. However, the element "1" already occurs twice, so there is no number that can be written in the box that will create this condition.
Example Question #1921 : Algebra 1
Consider the data set
How many ways can a single number replace the square to create a bimodal set?
Zero
Infinitely many
One
Three
Two
Two
The mode of a dataset is the element that occurs the most frequently. A set is considered to be bimodal if there are two elements that tie for this distinction.
If the square is replaced by a "2", then the set will comprise four "2's", two "3's", and two "4's". This will make 2 the only mode.
If the square is replaced by a "3", then the set will comprise three "2's", three "3's", and two "4's", making the set one with two modes, 2 and 3. Similarly, if the square is replaced by a "4", 2 and 4 will be the modes. Either of these two ways will make the set bimodal.
If the square is replaced by any other number, the set will comprise three "2's", two "3's", two "4's", and one other number, making 2 the only mode.
Therefore, there are two ways to replace the square to form a bimodal set.
Example Question #1922 : Algebra 1
What is the mode of the set of data?
The mode is the highest frequency of a number or numbers in a dataset.
There are 2 ones, 2 twos, and 1 three in the set of data.
Therefore, the mode is one and two.
The answer is:
Example Question #498 : Statistics And Probability
Find the mode:
The mode is the highest frequency of numbers in a dataset. In the given dataset, we notice that the 
But the true values of the 
The correct answer is:
Example Question #499 : Statistics And Probability
Find the mode of the following set:
To find the mode of any set, find the number which occurs the greatest number of times in the set.
2 occurs 6 times and 22 occurs 5 times
Therefore two is the mode.
Example Question #500 : Statistics And Probability
Find the mode of the following set:
To find the mode of any set, find the number which occurs the greatest number of times in the set.
Since 5 occurs two times and all other values only occur once, five is the mode.
