Question

Following are the margins of victory in the football matches of a league.
$1,3,2,5,1,4,6,2,5,2,2,2,4,1,2,3,1,1,2,3,2,6,4,2,1,1,4,2,1,5,3,3,2,3,2,4,2,1,2,3$, find the mode of this data.

Answer 1

Let us put the data in a tabular form-
Looking at the table, we can quickly say that $2$ is the mode since $2$ has occured the highest number of times. thus, most of the matches have been won with a victory margin of $2$ goals.

As the most no. of matches have been won with a victory margin of $2$ goals, thus the mode of the given data is $2$.

Hence the correct answer is $2$.
