If we know that , then the set is known to have one 24, five 26's, three 27's, two 28's, and one 29. The only way the set can have two modes is for  and ; this makes 27 occur five times, just as frequently as 26. 

If we know , however, the set  is known to have one 24, four 26's, four 27's, two 28's, and one 29. There are two ways for the set to have two modes (26 and 27): for  and , or  for  and . 

The answer is that Statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but not Statement 2.

The median of a data set with an even number of elements is the arithmetic mean of the two elements that fall in the middle when the elements are arranged in ascending order. These two elements are both 6, so 6 is the median.

The mode of a data set is the element that occurs most frequently. Since 6 appears thre times, 7 appears two times, and all other elements appear once each, the mode is 6.

Therefore, the median and the mode are equal.

The data set has four 6's and no more than two of any other element - and there cannot be more than four of any other element regardless of the value of  - so  6 must be one of the modes. For the set to be bimodal, there must be four of another element. Since  occurs twice, it must be set to a number known to occur exactly two other times. There are, however, two choices, 5 and 7, so Statement 1 is insufficient.

Statement 2 is sufficient, as seen below:

If , as given in Statement 1, the set can have one mode (the other four numbers are different from each other and from  and ), two modes (for example,  ) or three modes (for example,  ) . Therefore, Statement 1 alone is not enough. 

If none of , , , or  are equal to each other, as given in Statement 2, the set can have one mode (for example, , the other numbers are different), two modes (,  and  are different), or no modes (all six different numbers).

If both statements are true, however, there are two possibilities - , with the other four elements being different, or , with one number being the same and the other three different. Either way, the set is known to have one mode.

The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data. In our list the value that appears most often is n. Therefore n is the mode of the numbers in the list.

Only statement (2) is useful in finding the value of n as it states that the mode of the numbers in the list is 16.

The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of numbers. In the list given, the value that appears the most is m. Therefore, m is the mode in the list of numbers given.

(1)

Therefore, .

 Statement (1) is sufficient

(2) The mode of the numbers in the list is 6.

Therefore, .

Statement (2) is sufficient

Each Statement ALONE is SUFFICIENT

The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data. In our list the value that appears most often is 2y. Therefore 2y is the mode of the numbers in the list.

(1) The mode of the numbers in the list is 20.

We still don't know the value of x. Statement (1) ALONE is not sufficient.

(2) The product of x and y is 150.

Statement (2) ALONE is not sufficient.

Using both statements, we can write

Therefore,

Both statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

The mode is the number that occurs most frequently. Therefore, our answer is .

The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data. In our list the value that appears most often is m+1. Therefore m+1 is the mode of the numbers in the list.

Only statement (1) is useful in finding the value of m as it states that the mode of the numbers in the list is 14.

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but Statement (2) ALONE is not sufficient.

Looking at statements (1) and (2) separately, we cannot get the median number since we don’t know the 50th percentile. However, putting the two statements together, we know that the 50th percentile is 5. So the median is 5.
