\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Question reads....}


\textbf{Which set of data does not have a mode?}


\huge\textbf{The choices that you have provided:}


\textbf{(A) 1, 2, 5, 6, 8}


\textbf{(B) 1, 3, 5, 5, 6}


\textbf{(C) 1, 5, 5, 5, 5}


\textbf{(D) 1, 1, 1, 2, 2}


\huge\textbf{Okay, so let's get the understanding}\\\\\huge\textbf{of the word mode is:}


\large\textbf{The best way to understand what \boxed{\bf mode} it is known as}\\\\\large\textbf{the number you see MORE THAN once. }


\huge\textbf{Now that we got that information out of}\\\\\huge\textbf{the way, we can answer your question by}\\\\\huge\textbf{doing process of elimination.}


\huge\textsf{Option A.}


\textbf{1, 2, 5, 6, 8}


\large\textbf{None of the numbers r.e.p.e.a.t so this cann be your}\\\\\large\textbf{answer.}


\huge\textsf{Option B.}


\textbf{ 1, 3, 5, 5, 6}


\large\textbf{1}\rightarrow\large\textbf{ is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d once}\\\large\textbf{3}\rightarrow\large\textbf{ is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d once}\\\large\textbf{5}\rightarrow\large\textbf{is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d twice}\\\large\textbf{6}\rightarrow\large\textbf{is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d once}


\large\textbf{Just because majority of your numbers r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d}\\\\\large\textbf{once that doesn't mean it does have a mode rarely.}\\\\\\\\\\\large\textbf{So, Option B. isn't your answer because it has a mode.}


\huge\textsf{Option C.}


\textbf{ 1, 5, 5, 5, 5}


\large\textbf{1}\rightarrow\large\textbf{is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d once}\\\large\textbf{5}\rightarrow\large\textbf{is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d four times}


\large\textbf{Option C. isn't your answer because it has a mode.}


\huge\textsf{Option D. }


\textbf{1, 1, 1, 2, 2}


\large\textbf{1}\rightarrow\large\textbf{is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d three times}\\\large\textbf{2}\rightarrow\large\textbf{is r.e.p.e.a.t.e.d twice}


\large\textbf{Just because we have like two modes, it still doesn't mean}\\\large\textbf{you don't have a mode. It 's kind of cool that you have more}\\\large\textbf{than once mode.}


\large\textbf{Option D. isn't your answer because it has a mode though}\\\large\textbf{because it has like 2 sets of modes.}


\huge\textsf{Therefore, your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\textsf{Option\ A. 1, 2, 5, 6, 8}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
