Question

The mode of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 4. 3, 5, 3, 6 is ______.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 because the mode is most repated number

Answer 2

The correct answer is 3.

• The mode of a given set of values is the most recurrent value or the value that appears the most number of times.
• Let us arrange the given data in increasing order, for the sake of simplicity.

        2, 3, 3, 4, 4.3, 5, 6.

• The number of times each of the values appear is

        2 - once

        3 - two times

        4.3 - once

        4 - once

        5 - once

        6 - once

• We observe that 3 occurs twice and the rest all the values occur only once. Hence 3 appears the most number of times and therefore, is the mode of the given set of observations.

The correct answer is 3.
