Question

Choose whether the given statement is true or false.

"Every data set will always have a modal value."

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The mode is defined as the most frequently occuring value in the data set.

And if all the values in the data set will occur for the same number of times, then the data set is said to have no mode.

For example, consider the following data set, which depicts Adam's score in $6$ different games.


It can be observed that each score occurs for the same number of times, therefore the data set is said to have no mode.

Hence, the given statement is false.
