Example Question #161 : Statistics
The numbers in a set are and . Find the mode.
The mode is simply the number that appears most frequently in a set. Because is the only number that appears more than once, it is the mode.
Example Question #29 : Mode
Give the mode of the data set:
The mode of a data set is the value that occurs the most frequently. If the data values are arranged in order, the set looks like this:
1 occurs three times, more than any other element. This makes 1 the mode.
Example Question #30 : Mode
What is the mode of this set?
, , , , ,
To find the mode, we must first set our data in order from least to greatest. This will help us see more clearly the answer and how many of each number we have.
, , , , ,
We can see that has the most multiples of itself, since only has of itself and only has . This makes our mode.
Our answer is .
Example Question #31 : Mode
What is the mode in this set?
, , , , ,
The mode is the number that repeats itself the most in a set.
is the only number with two of each other, making it our mode.
Our answer is .
Example Question #32 : Mode
What is the mode in this set?
, , , , ,
To find the mode, we must first put our set in order from least to greatest. This will help us see where the most of one number is.
, , , , ,
With our set in order, we can see that has the most of itself in the set, making it our mode.
Our answer is .
Example Question #33 : Mode
What is the mode of this set?
, , , , , , , ,
Since we have a set of data that has multiples of each number, our mode will be the number that has the most of itself.
has of itself, has of itself and has of itself. Since has the most of itself, it is our mode.
Our answer is .
Example Question #162 : Statistics
A cheeseburger normally cost . Wednesdays it is discounted . How much is a cheeseburger on Wednesday (in dollars and cents)?
To find the cost of the cheeseburger after the discount is applied we need to first find out how much 20% of 3.50 is.
Thus the discount is 70 cents, or .
Now to find the new price we will need to subtract the discount from the original amount.
Therefore the price of the cheeseburger on Wednesday is .
Example Question #1 : Other Data Calculations
Cynthia earned in 2014. She received a bonus of . What percent of her salary did she receive in bonus?
To find what percentage of her salary her bonus was we need to set up a proportion.
.
Now we cross multiply and divide to get our percentage.
.
Example Question #163 : Statistics
For a treat, Sandy the dog ate slices of roast beef every day. How many slices would Jeff have to buy every week for Sandy?
To find out how many slices of roast beef Jeff needs to buy in a week we first need to calculate how many slices of roast beef Sandy eats in a week.
We know that she eats 3 slices per day. Using this we can create a unit multiplier to find out how many slices she eats in a week.
Since there are 7 days in a week the convertion becomes,
.

For in state residents, annual tuition is for the 2014-2015 school year. For non-residents, it is . About how many times more is non-resident tuition than resident tuition?
To find out how many times more the non-resident tuition is compared to the in state resident tuition we need to create a proportion.
First we will round out numbers is about and is about .
Now we set up our fraction:
.
