Find the mode of the following data:
(i) 3, 5, 7, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 9, 7, 4
(ii) 3, 3, 7, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 9, 7, 4
(iii) 15, 8, 26, 25, 24, 15, 18, 20, 24, 15, 19, 15
The mode of a set of data is the value in the set that occurs most often.
(i) Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9
Mode = 5
(ii) Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9
Mode = 3
(iii) Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
8, 15, 15, 15, 15, 18, 19, 20, 24, 24, 25, 26
Mode = 15
