Example Question #12 : Mode

Find the mode of the dataset:   

Possible Answers:

There is no mode

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode of the dataset is the highest frequency of numbers in the set.  Reduce all fractions and reorder in chronological order.

The mode of the dataset is .

Example Question #331 : Basic Statistics

Find the mode of the following data set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

The mode is just the most common term in your sequence.

In this case, we only have one term that gets repeated... Can you spot it?

That's right, 117

So our answer is 117.

Example Question #332 : Basic Statistics

Find the mode of this data set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the median of this data set:

To begin, let's put our numbers in increasing order:

Next, find the mode by finding the most repeated number. With our numbers in increasing order, it should be clear that our mode is 76.

 

Example Question #21 : Mode

Find the mode of the following data set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

Let's begin by putting our data in increasing order:

Now, the mode is just the most common term. In this case, we have 44 repeated three times. This means that 44 is our mode.

Example Question #25 : Mode

What is the mode of the following set of numbers?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is the most occurring number, which, after you rearrange the numbers, is the number 1.

Count the number of times each number occurs.

Since 1 is the most occurring number it is the mode of the data set.

Example Question #26 : Mode

For the function , what is the mode if ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the mode, first we need to evaluate the function at each of our points:

Now we put our answers in order:

As we can see, the  appears twice, which is more than any other number.  Therefore the mode is .

Example Question #21 : Mode

Find the mode of the data: {1,8,5,4,7,5,6,3,6,4,7,5,7,5}

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is the data point that occurs most in the set. Grouping the data shows the 5 is the data point that occurs the most. {1,3,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,7,8}

Example Question #21 : Mode

What is the mode(s) of: 

?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Arrange the numbers from smallest to largest:



Step 2: Compare the number of times that each number appears

 time
 time
 times
 times
 times
 times
 time

Step 3: We see that two numbers appear more often than others. Both of those numbers are the modes of the set.

The modes are  and .

Example Question #29 : Mode

Calculate the mode:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Convert the fraction and percent to a decimal. 

The mode is the number or numbers that has the highest frequency in a data set.

The highest frequencies of numbers are , since  occurs only once.

This means that the mode is:  

Example Question #30 : Mode

Determine the mode:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is the number or numbers that have the highest frequency in the data set.

Convert all numbers to a common number.  Change all to decimal.

Notice that the numbers  occurs twice in the data set, while  occurs only once in the data set.

The mode is:
