Answer:

Example Question #8 : Mode

Over the past five days, John has run the following number of miles:

If M is equal to the mode, R is equal to the median, and J is equal to the mean, what is the order of M, R, and J from smallest to largest?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The first step is to reorder the set  in order from smallest to largest. 

The mode (which occurs most often) is 3, so

The median (which is the middle number in the set) is , so

The mean (or average) is ,

so 

Therefore, 

Example Question #205 : Data Analysis And Probability

Example Question #206 : Data Analysis And Probability

Find the mode of the following set of numbers:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the mode, simply find the most frequent number.

Only 2 is repeated in this dataset, all other entries occur only once.

Thus, our answer is 2.

Example Question #207 : Data Analysis And Probability

The mode of the following set of values would be :

Possible Answers:

True

False

Correct answer:

False

Explanation:

The mode of any set of values would be the value that occurs the most.  That value for this set would be  which occurs fours times.   represents the maximum value for the set.  That mean the statement given is FALSE.

Example Question #81 : Mode

Find the mode of the following set of values:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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

Example Question #82 : Mode

Find the mode of the following data set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the mode of the following data set:

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

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.
