Question

Consider the following data depicting the score of students of grade $7$ in History test.


Draw the frequency table of this data and find the mode.

• A.
  $\text{Mode}=25$
• B.
  $\text{Mode}=30$
• C.
  $\text{Mode}=29$
• D.
  $\text{Mode}=25$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\text{Mode}=25$
Observe the given data and count the number of times a particular score occurs.

It can be observed that there are two students with score $23$ and two students with score $29$, thus the frequency of score $23$ and $29$ is $2$.

Moreover, there are $3$ students with score $25$, hence the frequency of score $25$ is $3$.

Furthermore, all the remaining scores occur once, thus their frequency will be $1$.

Hence, the frequency table of the given data will be represented as,


The mode is that value which occurs most frequently in the data. Since, for the given data $25$ occurs most frequently, therefore the mode of scores is $25$.
