Question

Determine mode for the following data relating to basic pay of 15 workers in a factory. 3500,4000,4500,4000,5500,6000,8000,4000,3000,2500,4000,5000,6500,700​

Answer 1

Given:

Given data related to factory:

3500, 4000, 4500, 4000, 5500, 6000, 8000, 4000, 3000, 2500, 4000, 5000, 6500, 700​

To find:

We need to find the mode of the given data of a factory.

Solution:

Before solving the question, we should know the meaning of mode.

The mode is a value which repeats most frequently in the given data set.

Consider the given data,

3500, 4000, 4500, 4000, 5500, 6000, 8000, 4000, 3000, 2500, 4000, 5000, 6500, 700​

In the above data, 4000 is repeated more times (4 times) when compared to other data.

Therefore, mode of the given data is 4000.
