Question

Find the mode of the following data in each case:

(i) 14, 25, 14, 28, 18, 17, 18, 14, 23, 22, 14, 18

(ii) 7, 9, 12, 13, 7, 12, 15, 7, 12, 7, 25, 18, 7

Answer 1

(i) Arranging the data in ascending order:

14, 14, 14, 14, 17, 18, 18, 18, 22, 23, 25, 28

Here observation 14 is having the highest frequency.

So, mode = 14

(ii)

Since, maximum frequency 5 corresponds to value 7.

Then, the mode = 7
