Find the mode of this data set.

• A. $2$
• B. $5$
• C. $4$
• D. $4.5$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4$

Count the number of candies bought by different students in the given data and depict the data using frequency table. It will be represented as follows:


The mode of the given data set is that value which occurs most frequently in the data set.

Observe the frequency table obtained for the given data.


Here, it can be observed that there are three students with $4$ number of candies, i.e., the value $4$ occurs most frequently and hence the mode of the given data is $4$.

So, option (c) is correct.
