Example Questions
Example Question #1 : How To Find Mode
Looking at the table, what is the difference of the mean minus the mode.
1.0
–1.0
–0.5
0.5
–0.5
The mode is 3 and subtracting 3 from 2.5 gives -0.5.
Example Question #2 : How To Find Mode
Find the mode of the following set of numbers:
1, 6, 3, 6, 5, 9
5
9
8
6
6
Mode is the most frequently occuring number in a set. 6 appears most frequently since there are 2 sixes but the rest of the numbers only appear once. The mode is 6
Example Question #3 : How To Find Mode
Find the mode in this set of numbers:
2, 100, 52, 97, 1, 7, 22, 19, 100
1
97
2
100
none of these
100
The mode is the number that appears the most
Example Question #2 : How To Find Mode
Find the mode from the following set of numbers
1, 4, 8, 17, 8, 8, 15, 21, 32, 17
21
15
17
8
4
8
The mode is the number that appears the most in a given set of numbers
Example Question #3 : Mode
Find the mode.
The mode is the number that appears the most often. 9 appears three times.
Example Question #1 : Mode
What is the mode of the following set of numbers?
24, 38, 26, 27, 7, 27, 34, 12, 13
The mode is the number that appears the most in a given set of numbers.
Example Question #3 : How To Find Mode
Consider the following dataset:
The arithmetic mean of the dataset is .
The median of the dataset is .
The range of the dataset is .
The mode of the dataset is .
Which of the following statements is true?
In general:
In this case the mean is:
To obtain the median, arrange the observations from smallest to largest:
When there is an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value. In this case:
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest value:
The mode is the value that occurs most often in the dataset:
Since:
we can conclude:
Example Question #3 : How To Find Mode
Marker Colors |
Students |
Blue |
13 |
Pink |
10 |
Orange |
5 |
Brown |
5 |
Green |
7 |
The above chart shows the number of students in a class who chose each of the five marker colors available.
What is the mode of the above chart?
The mode of a problem is the most common number, i.e. the number that appears the most times in a given set of data. In this case, only one number is repeated. Therefore, the mode is 5.
Example Question #1 : How To Find Mode
Find the mode(s) of the following set of numbers:
and
and
and
and
The mode is the most frequently represented number in a data set. In this instance, that is and
. There can be more than one mode.
Example Question #81 : Statistics
Find the mode of the following set of numbers:
The mode is the most frequently occurring number in a data set. In this instance, that is .
