Question

The following are scores obtained by some students in a test.

8 18 10 14 18 11 13 14 13 17 15 8 16 13. Find the mode of the distribution

Answer 1

`\boxed{13}`

Explanation:

Arranging the data in ascending order:

8 , 8 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 13 ,13 , 14 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 18 ,

In the case of discrete data, mode can be found just by inspection, i.e just by taking an item with highest frequency.

Here, 13 has the highest frequency

So, Mode = 13

Extra information

Mode

The mode of a set of data is the value with the highest frequency. A distribution that has two modes is called bimodal. The mode of a set of data is denoted by Mo.
