Question

Find the mode of the following: 14.8, 16.3, 8.8, 12.3, 8.1

Option 1: 14.8
Option 2: 16.3
Option 3: 12.3
Option 4: 8.1

Answer 1

In the data provided, each number appears only once, so there is no mode, and none of the options presented are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently in the set. In the provided list of numbers (14.8, 16.3, 8.8, 12.3, 8.1), we can see that each number appears only once. Therefore, since no number repeats, this dataset has no mode. Based on the options given, none of them is correct since each number is unique and none is repeated more often than the others. The correct answer is that there is no mode.
