Question

If the number of different trees in a park is 14, 25, 85, 14, 25, 14, 14 and 58, then find the mode of this data.

Answer 1

Answer :

• 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a park there are trees of different kind ( species ) and we have to find the mode of the data provided.

Mode is the data which occurs the most, or we can say that the data which has the highest frequency is called mode.

Let's arrange the given data in ascending order!

14

14

14

14

25

25

58

85

By arranging the given data in a frequency distribution table, we get :

| Observation | Frequency |

| -------------------|-----------------|

| 14                  | 4                 |

| 25                 | 2                 |

| 58                 | 1                  |

| 85                 | 1                  |

Since, the frequency of 14 is maximum i.e. 4 it is the mode of the given data.

Hence 14 is the answer.
