Compute mode of the following distribution by inspection method.
χ | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
f | 4 | 6 | 8 | 12 | 17 | 11 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 3 |
χχ | 11 | 22 | 33 | 44 | 55 | 66 | 77 | 88 | 99 | 1010 |
ff | 44 | 66 | 88 | 1212 | 1717 | 1111 | 77 | 66 | 5 35 | 3 |
Mode is the highest occurring figure in a series. It is the value in a series of observation that repeats maximum number of times and which represents the whole series as most of the values in the series revolves around this value.
Since, 5 is occurring highest number of times. Therefore, 5 is the mode of the series.
