Finding the Mode

What is the mode of the following numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?

• There is no mode, as all numbers appear only once.

• The mode is 1.

• The mode is 3.

• The mode is 5.

What happens to the mode if all numbers in a data set are unique?

• There is a mode that is the average of the numbers.

• There is no mode.

• The mode is the largest number in the set.

• The mode is the smallest number in the set.

How can the mode be useful in real life?

• It can help identify the most common item, such as the most popular product in a store.

• It can determine the average score of a class on a test.

• It can provide the range of values in a data set.

• It can help in predicting future trends based on past data.

What is the mode?

• The average of all scores in a data set.

• The most frequent score in a data set.

• The score that occurs least frequently in a data set.

• The middle score when all scores are arranged in order.

In a data set, if the numbers are: 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, what is the mode?

• 7

• 8

• 9

• 10

Given the data set: 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, what is the mode?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

What does it mean if a data set has no mode?

• It means that no number appears more than once in the data set.

• It means that the data set has an equal number of occurrences for all values.

• It means that the data set contains only one unique value.

• It means that the data set has a maximum value that is repeated.

What is a bimodal data set?

• A data set with one value that appears most frequently.

• A data set with two different values that appear with the highest frequency.

• A data set that has no repeated values.

• A data set that contains only negative numbers.

What is the mode of the following data: 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11?

• 8

• 9

• 10

• 11

Can there be more than one mode in a data set?

• No, a data set can only have one mode.

• Yes, a data set can be bimodal (two modes) or multimodal (more than two modes).

• Yes, but only if the data set is large enough.

• Yes, but it is very rare.
