Question

A cricket team played 13 matches. The scores were recorded as $67,90,57,90,78,99,87,78,67,90,87,57$, and $87$. What will be the mode of this data?

• A. $67$ and $99$
• B. $87$ and $90$
• C. $57,67$, and $78$
• D. $99$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $87$ and $90$

The mode of a given data is defined as the most frequently occuring value or object in the data set. It can have more than one value.

Arrange the given data set in ascending order to observe which value or values occur more frequent.


For the given data, there are two values which occur for the most number of times. Thus, the given data is bimodal with mode values $87$ and $90$.
