Example Question #56 : Basic Statistics
What is the mode?
Mode is the data point that occurs most frequently.
Let's arrange in increasing order. We have
.
and occur twice and are the most frequent. We can have more than one mode so the answer is .
Example Question #380 : Statistics And Probability
What is the mode?
Mode is the data point that occurs most frequently.
Let's arrange in increasing order. We have
.
occurs three times while the rest only twice.
Therefore, is the answer.
Example Question #381 : Statistics And Probability
What is the mode?
Mode is the data point that occurs most frequently.
Let's arrange in increasing order. We have
.
occur twice while the rest only once.
Therefore, is our final answer.
Example Question #63 : Basic Statistics
Using this set of data, find the mode(s).
and
and
and
To find the mode, we must find which number appears the most amount of times. (rememeber: mode = most!)
In this data set:
,
the numbers and all only appear once. But the numbers and appear more than once; these are our candidates for the mode.
Let's go one number at a time. The number four appears four times; the number two appears two times; the number five appears four times.
Thus, the numbers and both appear the most amount of times, four times each! We have two modes!
Example Question #31 : How To Find Mode
John's past five test scores were
.
What is the mode of his test scores?
The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs the most times.
Since 85 appears twice, and all other numbers appeared only once, 85 is the mode.
Example Question #403 : Statistics And Probability
Consider the following set of numbers:
Find the mode of the set.
The mode of the set is the most repeated number in the set.
First organize the set in order from smallest to largest.
From here we can see more clearly when there is a repeated number.
In this case that number is because all other number only occur once.
Example Question #41 : How To Find Mode
Consider the following set of numbers:
Find the mode of the set.
The mode of the set is the most repeated number in the set. In this case there is number being repeated once and another being repeated twice.
Therefore the answer will be the number that is being repeated twice, .
This number can be seen in red.
Example Question #42 : How To Find Mode
Consider the following set:
Find the mode of the set.
The mode of the set is the number that occurs the most times in the set.
In this case that number is since all other numbers are only seen once in the data set.
Example Question #425 : Statistics And Probability
Find the mode of the following set of numbers: .
and
and
and
The mode of any set of numbers is the number that occurs the most often in set. In order to find the mode, it's easiest to start by arranging the numbers in the set from least to greatest. The set of numbers we were given is
.
In order from least to greatest, this set looks like:
Now that our numbers are in order, it's easier for us to see if there are any numbers that show up more than once. In this case, both and appear in the set two times, and every other number in the set appears only one time. Since and appear an equal number of times in the set as the other does, they are both considered to be modes of the set.
So, there are two modes for our set: , and .
Example Question #446 : Statistics And Probability
What is the mode of this class's state exam results if the scores are the following?
The mode is the number that appears most often in your set. In this case we will be looking at which score appears most often.
This is one simple way of organizing data to indicate the mode. Each number that appeared in the data set was written down. Each "X" written above each number indicates each time it was present in the set. We see that 87 appeared most often. Therefore, 87 is the mode of the data set.
