Question

For what value of x the Mode of the following data is 26?26, 51, 24, 26, 24, 26, 35, x – 1.

Answer 1

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

Given: Mode is 26.

To find: The value of x.

Answer:

Observations: 6, 51, 24, 26, 24, 26, 35, x – 1.

Here, we can see that 24 and 26 are the most repeated observations. But it's also given that the mode is 26 and not 24. So it's only fair if x - 1 = 26.

x - 1 = 26

x = 26 + 1

x =  27

Hope it helps :)
