Answer 2

Given,

A set of data consists of six numbers 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, and 'x'.

To find,

The difference between the  modes is when, x=9 and x=8.

Solution,

The mode can be defined as the most frequently occurring value on the list.

CASE 1:

When x ='9'.

We get the set of data when x = 9 as:

7, 8, 8, 9, 9, and 9.

Here, 9 is occurring the most i.e. 3 times.

Hence the mode of data when x = 9 is 9.

CASE 2:

When x = '8'.

We get the set of data when x = 8 as:

7, 8, 8, 9, 9, and 8.

Here, 8 is occurring the most i.e. 3 times.

Hence the mode of data when x = 8 is 8.

Therefore, the difference between the  nodes when x=9 and x=8 are

9 - 8 = 1.
