Question

If the wages of seven workers is 35,40,45,35,40,35,50 find the modal wage

Answer 1

Modal wage is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the wages of seven workers below;

35, 40, 45, 35, 40, 35, 50

We have to find the modal wage from the above data.

Mode of the data represents that value which occurs maximum number of times in the data, that is;

Suppose if we have 5 data value in which 2 is occurring 3 times, 4 is occurring 1 time and 6 is also occurring 1 time, so the mode of this data will be 2 as it is occurring maximum number of times in the data.

Now, according to our question;

The value 35 is appearing maximum number of times in the data, that is 35 is appearing 3 times.

Therefore, the modal wage of the data is 35.
