Question

The sales of items on $15$ consecutive days in a state are shown in the table given below.
What value must $x$ be to make the given data set bimodal ?

• A. 254
• B. 543
• C. 663
• D. 534

Answer 1

The correct option is D 534

The data set with two modal values is said to be bimodal.

Observe the given data.


Here, $657$ is the most frequently occuring value.

Now, there should be one more value that occurs as frequently as $657$ to make the given data set bimodal.

Observe the given data again.


$534$ occurs thrice in the given data set. Thus, $534$ must occur four times, i.e., the value of $x$ should be $534$ to make the given data set bimodal.
