Question

Find the mode(s) for the given sample data.

the weights (in ounces) of 14 different apples are shown below.
4.9, 4.6, 5.1, 4.2, 4.8, 4.9, 4.6, 4.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.9, 4.3, 4.2, 5.4

Answer 1

So the modes are 4.9 and 4.2

Answer 2

4.9 & 4.2

Explanation:

First, we will have to define mode,

“Mode is the most frequently occurring value of the given data.”

The value with the greatest frequency is called mode. In order to find mode, we have to skim through the data. The value which is repeated most is the mode of the given data. A data can have more than one modes.

For the above data,

4.9 is repeated 3 times.

4.2 is repeated 3 times.

These both numbers have highest frequency in the data.

So the modes are 4.9 and 4.2 ..
