Question

The marks obtained in a test by 12 students of a class are given below:

37, 23, 16, 19, 34, 23, 5, 27, 36, 23, 20, 38

Find the modal marks. [1 MARK]

Answer 1

Concept: 1 Mark

Arranging the marks in an ascending order, we have:

5, 16, 19, 20, 23, 23, 23, 27, 34, 36, 37, 38

Clearly, 23 occurs maximum number of times.

Hence, mode = 23
