Question:
Find the mode of the following data:
(i) 3, 5, 7, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 9, 7,4
(ii) 3, 3, 7, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 9, 7, 4
(iii) 15, 8, 26, 25, 24, 15, 18, 20, 24, 15, 19, 15
Solution:
(i) 3, 5, 7, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 9, 7, 4
The frequency table for the given data
We observe that the value 5 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, the mode of data is 5.
(ii) 3, 3, 7, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 9, 7, 4
The frequency table for the given data
We observe that the value 3 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, the mode of data is 3.
(iii) 15, 8, 26, 25, 24, 15, 18, 20, 24, 15, 19, 15
The frequency table for the given data
We observe that the value 15 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, the mode of data is 15.
