Question

Find the mode: 16,12,10,15,7,916

Answer 1

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

$\begin{gathered} 7\text{ appears once} \\ 9\text{ appears once} \\ 10\text{ appears once} \\ 12\text{ appears once} \\ 15\text{ appears once} \\ 16\text{ appears twice} \end{gathered}$

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.
