Question

The mode of the following data set is .

$33$	$43$	$34$	$43$	$32$
$42$	$24$	$43$	$42$	$43$

Answer 1

Step 1:

To find the frequency of each number of the given data set, we first arrange the numbers in ascending order.

$24$

$32$

$33$

$34$

$42$

$42$

$43$

$43$

$43$

$43$

Step 2:

We now create a frequency table to determine the frequency or number of times each number appears.
Frequency Table

Number	Frequency
$24$	$1$
$32$	$1$
$33$	$1$
$34$	$1$
$42$	$2$
$\underset{–}{43}$	$\underset{–}{4}$

From the above frequency table, we observe that the number $43$ appears most number of times.

$\therefore$ The mode of the given data set is $43$.
