Question

Find the mode(s) of the following data set.

• A. Only 2.
• B. Only 6.
• C. 2 and 6

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2 and 6

Step 1:

Lets arrange the given data set in ascending order.

0	1	2	2	3
4	5	6	6	8

Step 2:

The frequency table of the above data is as follows


From the frequency table it is inferred that the most number of occurrence of the numbers are 2 and 6.

Here, both the numbers occur 2 times each.

Hence, modes of the data set are 2 and 6.

$\therefore$ It is a bimodal data set.
