Question

The mode of 7 obseravations 5,2,8,a,9,8, is 5. what should be the value ok a'​

Answer 1

Answer:

first of all..

there is a mistake in the question..

you wrote 7 observations but there are 6..

5,2,8,a, 9,8..

the observations must be like this..

5,2,8,a, 9,8,5

Explanation:

mode = 5

there is 2 times 5 ,,and ,,2 times 8 in the given observation.

if we put a = 8 then the mode will become 8 which is wrong..

so value of a would be 5 so mode will be equal to 5..

a=5
