Find the mode: 16,12,10,15,7,916
1 answer:
The mode is the value from a given set of data that occurs most often. It is the data with the highest frequency.
Given:
16,12,10,15,7,9,16
Form the above data given;
Rearranging for easy identification, we have;
7,9,10,12,15,16,16
From the above, we can deduce that the mode is 16 because it appears the most often. It appears twice.
Therefore, the mode is 16.

Dot plots are used to represent data using dots
The true statements about the dataset are:
- The range of the number line should be 0 to 7 to represent the frequency.
- Four families said they ate out twice the previous week.
- One family said they ate out 5 times the previous week
The dataset is given as:
4, 2, 2, 0, 1, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, 0, 1
Rearrange in ascending order
0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6
Represent as a frequency table
Data Frequency
0 2
1 2
2 4
3 0
4 2
5 1
6 1
See attachment for the dot plot
From the attachment, we can see that:
- 4 has a frequency of 2
- 5 has a frequency of 1
Also, the range on the dot plot can be 0 to 7, because it covers the given dataset
Hence, the true statements are: (a), (b) and (c)
