Example Question #513 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Find the mode of the following set of values:

\(\displaystyle 7,7,7,7,8,9,10,11,11,11\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 8\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

\(\displaystyle 11\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 7\)

Explanation:

The mode of a set is the value that occurs the most frequently.  In this set that value is \(\displaystyle 7\) as it occurs four different times.

Example Question #521 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 197,12,34,76,88,99,123,44,12,98,57,34,12,196,99\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 76\)

\(\displaystyle 72\)

\(\displaystyle 99\)

\(\displaystyle 12\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 12\)

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 197,12,34,76,88,99,123,44,12,98,57,34,12,196,99\)

First, let's rearrange our numbers in increasing order:

\(\displaystyle 12,12,12,34,34,44,57,76,88,98,99,99,123,196,197\)

Next, identify the mode by identifying the number which appears most often. 

 

In this case, it is 12, because we have 3 12's, and no other number appears more than twice.

Example Question #91 : Mode

Use the following data set to answer the question.

\(\displaystyle 10, 6, 7, 4, 6, 3, 10, 6, 1\)

Find the mode.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 1\)

\(\displaystyle 6\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

\(\displaystyle 5\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 6\)

Explanation:

To find the mode of a data set, we are looking for the number or value that appears most frequently.  So, looking at the set

\(\displaystyle 10, 6, 7, 4, 6, 3, 10, 6, 1\)

we can see that the number \(\displaystyle 6\) appears most often. 

 

Therefore, the mode of this data set is \(\displaystyle 6\).

Example Question #522 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 16,27,45,27,87,99,127\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 111\)

\(\displaystyle 27\)

\(\displaystyle 45\)

\(\displaystyle 61\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 27\)

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 16,27,45,27,87,99,127,\)

First, let's put our set in increasing order:

\(\displaystyle 16,27,27,45,87,99,127\)

Next, identify the mode by identifying the number which appears most often.

In this case, we have two 27's, and no other doubles. This means that 27 is our mode.

 

Example Question #93 : Mode

Use the following data set to answer the question:

\(\displaystyle 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 7, 6\)

Find the mode.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 6\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle 3\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

\(\displaystyle 5\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 7\)

Explanation:

To find the mode of a data set, we must determine the number within the set that occurs most frequently or most often.  So, looking at the data set

\(\displaystyle 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 7, 6\)

we can see that the number \(\displaystyle 7\) appears the most (it appears 3 times).

 

Therefore, the mode of the data set is \(\displaystyle 7\).

Example Question #92 : How To Find Mode

Use the following set of data to answer the question.

\(\displaystyle 5, 2, 7, 3, 9, 7, 2, 7, 1, 10, 9\)

Find the mode of the data set.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 5\)

\(\displaystyle 2\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle 6\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 7\)

Explanation:

To find the mode of a data set, we must find the number that occurs most frequently within the set.  So, in the set

\(\displaystyle 5, 2, 7, 3, 9, 7, 2, 7, 1, 10, 9\)

we can see that the number 7 appears most frequently (3 times).  

Therefore, the mode of the data set is \(\displaystyle 7\).

Example Question #523 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

What is the mode of the following data set?

\(\displaystyle 145,678,902,8902,145,33,34,147,678,902,333,92,145\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 1010\)

\(\displaystyle 147\)

\(\displaystyle 902\)

\(\displaystyle 145\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 145\)

Explanation:

What is the mode of the following data set?

\(\displaystyle 145,678,902,8902,145,33,34,147,678,902,333,92,145\)

First, put the data set in increasing order:

\(\displaystyle 33,34,92,145,145,145,147,333,678,678,902,902,8902\)

Next, simply look for the value which is most often repeated:

We have three 145's two 678's, and two 902's

The answer must be 145

Example Question #96 : Mode

Use the following data set to answer the question.

\(\displaystyle 4, 2, 6, 2, 7, 9, 9, 2, 4\)

Find the mode.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

\(\displaystyle 2\)

\(\displaystyle 5\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 2\)

Explanation:

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

So, given the data set

\(\displaystyle 4, 2, 6, 2, 7, 9, 9, 2, 4\)

we can see that the number that appears most frequently is \(\displaystyle 2\).

 

Therefore, the mode of the data set is \(\displaystyle 2\).

Example Question #524 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 13,45,66,123,43,76,45,13,67,77,45\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 45\)

\(\displaystyle 43\)

\(\displaystyle 123\)

\(\displaystyle 66\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 45\)

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 13,45,66,123,43,76,45,13,67,77,45\)

Let's begin by ordering our data set from least to greatest.

\(\displaystyle 13,13,43,45,45,45,66,67,76,77,123\)

Now, the mode is simply the most common number. In this case, it is 45 because we have 3 45's

 

Example Question #525 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 10,45,65,23,76,87,23,45,12,23,67\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 43\)

\(\displaystyle 77\)

\(\displaystyle 45\)

\(\displaystyle 23\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 23\)

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

\(\displaystyle 10,45,65,23,76,87,23,45,12,23,67\)

First, let's reorder our data set:

\(\displaystyle 10,12,23,23,23,45,45,65,67,76,87\)

The mode can be easily identified by looking for the most common number.

In this case, we have 3 23's and 2 45's. So, 23 must be our mode.
