Example Question #151 : Statistics

Determine the mode of the numbers:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is defined as the number or numbers that have the highest frequency in a data set.  Since every number provided has a frequency of one, there is no mode available.

Do not misinterpret the mode as the mean, median, or range.

The answer is:  

Example Question #152 : Statistics

Evaluate the mode of the numbers:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode includes all numbers that have the highest frequencies in a data set.

Each number appears only once in the data set.

This means that there is no mode.

The answer is:  

Example Question #153 : Statistics

Use the following Math test scores to answer the question:

Find the mode.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the mode of a data set, we will find the number that appears most often.

So, given the set

we can see the number that appears most often is 79 (it appears two times).

Therefore, the mode of the data set is 79.

Example Question #154 : Statistics

Determine the mode:   

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is defined as the number or numbers with the highest occurrence.

Since there is one of every number given, the mode does not exist.

The answer is:  

Example Question #155 : Statistics

Determine the mode of the numbers:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode includes all numbers in the data set where they have the highest frequencies.

The numbers that occur most often are:  

This means that the modes are:  

Example Question #156 : Statistics

Determine the mode:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mode is defined as the number or numbers that have the highest frequencies in the dataset.  Since every number only appears once, there is no mode present.

Do not confuse the meaning of mode with mean, median, range, or by pattern recognition.

The answer is:  

Example Question #24 : Mode

Find the mode of the following data set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

To find the mode, let's first put our terms in increasing order. 

This,

Becomes...

Now, our mode is simply the most common term. 

In this case, it must be 14, because we have two 14's, and only 1 of each other term.

Example Question #25 : Mode

Jessica kept track of the number of points she scored in her last six basketball games. Her scores are as follows: . What is the difference between the median and the mode of her scores?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall that the mode of a set of numbers is the number that shows up most frequently. For this set of numbers,  is the mode because it shows up twice, more than any other number.

Recall that the median is the number exactly in the middle of a set of numbers. First, rearrange the given values in increasing order.

Now the median must be between the third and the fourth terms. The only number between these terms is .

To find the difference between the two terms, subtract them.

Example Question #157 : Statistics

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 numbers in increasing order:

Next, identify the mode by finding the most common term.

In this case, our mode is 44, because we have 2 44's, and only 1 of everything else.

So, our answer is 44

 

Example Question #158 : Statistics

Find the mode of the following data set:

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

To find the mode, first place your terms in increasing order

Then, ID the mode by choosing the most common term. In this case: 654 is our answer.
