Question

Find value of x if the mode of data: 5,3,2,51,6,8,x+2,3,7,5,3 is 5

Answer 1

Mode is the most repeated observation in a given set of data.

Given: Mode is 5.

To find: The value of x.

Answer:

Observations: 5, 3, 2, 51, 6, 8, x+2, 3, 7, 5, 3

Most repeated observations in above set are 5 and 3. Since it's given that the mode is 5, it is only fair, that x + 2 = 5, which confirms that the mode is 5.

x + 2 = 5

x = 5 - 2

x = 3

Hope it helps :)
