Question:
Calculate the mode of the following sizes of shoes sold by a shop on a particular day.
5, 9, 8, 6, 9, 4, 3, 9, 1, 6, 3, 9, 7, 1, 2, 5, 9
Solution:
On arranging the shoe sizes in ascending order, we get:
1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9
Clearly, 9 occurs maximum number of times.
∴ Mode = 9
