Question

In a class of $40$ students, marks obtained by the students in a class test (out of $10$) are given below.

Marks	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Number of students	1	2	3	3	6	10	5	4	3	3

Calculate the following for the given distribution:
Mode

Answer 1

Here, $N=40and\frac{N}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20$
Clearly, $6$ occurs $10$ times which is maximum.
Hence, mode is $6$.
